In ccleaner, creating a wipe-free space is generally positive as it helps maintain device cleanliness. However, some users may find the process time-consuming or disruptive. Overall, it’s a useful feature for keeping devices tidy.

I’d choose it for safety measures. That’s roughly all it does. Generally not effective on SSDs (except for security reasons) unless your operating system supports TRIM. It might be replaced by something else.

TRIM stands for Trim, a process that removes unnecessary parts from data or files. It can help reduce size and improve performance. However, it may also lead to loss of information if not handled carefully.

Free space on a drive after deletion doesn’t mean it’s truly empty. Data remains stored but is flagged as available. The issue arises because SSDs can slow down over time due to full memory cells. They use overflow memory chips to handle this, but writing new data requires erasing old information and rewriting it, which takes extra cycles and reduces write speed. TRIM helps by instructing the SSD to clear unused space, improving performance. This feature works automatically in most modern operating systems, though it’s not available in Linux-based systems I’m aware of.

You're relying on a solid-state drive instead of a traditional hard disk.

Is it unnecessary for HDDs as well as a security concern?

You mean clearing the unused area on a storage device—definitely unnecessary unless you want to prevent anyone from reading any information on it later.

Thanks for your reply. Would you consider reverting to an earlier system restore before proceeding?

It doesn't impact your drive in this way. You don't have to run a System Restore—there are no changes to the visible files.
