Ccleaner and restore points

[NickT]

Don't know if anyone else realizes, but Ccleaner Wipe Free Space removes restore points. Well, actually Windows removes them when it thinks the disk is full, to save space. I tried it 4 times and each time my restore points vanished.

Interesting. I had a look at two of my systems:
- No problem on Windows XP with CCleaner 3.01.1327 where I've run at least one wipe a month for several months. My restore points go back half a year.
- Likely on my Windows 7 64-bit PC with CCleaner version 3.08.1475 64-bit where I have no restore points older than a week. But I can't test it at the moment to confirm.

I tested too,and on my xp sp3,, on Tues. morning I had 3 weeks of points until wipe free space ,,then none. On Fri. morming I had 3 days of points , then wiped free space and again gone!!!! Using Ccleaner v3.12.1572. Maybe a rarity but I just needed to tell someone just in case.
