Version: Eraser 5.7
"Excellent Free Program...Use with caution"
Pros: It completely erases any trace of previously deleted files from your hardrive ,and gives you back space.
Cons: I can see why alot of new users are having problems with it...Whatever you do,do not interrupt it,while the program is running.Set it up,and leave your pc alone till it's done...Towards the end of the cycle,it creates folders to hold all the overwriting its doing,at the very end it deletes everything it overwrites.Leaving your hardrive nice and clean....If you stop it while it's overwriting it will have taken up a significant portion of your hardrive.So don't stop it after you start it!

If you accidentally stopped it while erasing, and noticed a large decrease in free space on your hard drive, is there anything you can do to get that space back? I went from about 8 GB free space to 3 GB...
