Can anyone recommend a freeware free space wiper for Vista?

 

Cheers

You can try Eraser from Sourceforge:

I have just downloaded it's myself to see what it's like. It seems to run ok and easy to work out. The user reviews are all very positive.

 

I shall use this to get my system's free space properly cleaned up, but my main routine overwriting cleaner to permanently delete my Recycle Bin contents is Ccleaner which I've set to run at startup. It can also fix unused registry entries, orphaned files etc. Gives direct access to Startup programs (msconfig) and allows you to keep down the number of SystemRestore copies which can take up 15% of your hard drive by default in Vista. Great little program

ccleaner I do use. I also have found it works well.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.
