I am using CCleaner "wipe drive - wipe free space" at my home PC every time I take some work home. since a few days, I found the option is no longer available but I had problems finding any news about this. The only option left is "Entire drive (All data will be erased)" Is this a new "feature" or did they just remove the option?

CCleaner version: v5.78.8558 (free home version)

Piriform Software disabled it.

Wipe Free Space option disabled in this version

We’re committed to providing the safest PC cleaner on the market. That’s why, after receiving reports that the ‘Wipe Free Space’ optional cleaning setting is erasing more than it should do in some cases, we have disabled it while we complete our investigations
