Help! Used "Secure Delete Free Space" on Spring Cleaning App...

Okay, so I don't know a whole lot about computers or anything. Someone told me to use Spring Cleaning to delete free space on my macbook pro because that would make my computer more secure and wouldn't allow any deleted files to be recovered. So I did, and now I have zero KB left of space. I guess I should have known that "delete free space" literally meant delete all of your free space, but why would anyone tell me to do that? Now I have no room to add anything to my computer. So I need to know how to reverse this, and if I can't, what my options are other than get an external hard drive and suck it up.

Hello c:
I do not like third-party applications that affect data or system files - for a variety of reasonably good reasons.
For future reference, use disk utility to do what you wanted to accomplish. You simply highlight your disk, click on erase, and then click on _erase free space._

    You could try repairing permissions with disk utility, I don't think you will have the option to repair the drive but you could verify it.
    This may help you delete the files that DU made but did not remove when erasing the free space.

    When you get your SL disk it will not have the iLife applications, that would have been on the second install disk that should have been with the computer. I forget which version of iLife you will need for SL but I think it is this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-iLife-Single-User-Mac/dp/B003XKRZES/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1409607702&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+ilife+11
    A search of the forums will confirm or deny this.
    As to whether a clean install will cure your problem, i.e. partition the HDD and install I would expect it to be yes, but there are no guarantees it is an old machine.

  • Disk Utility Error - Secure Erase Free Space failure

    I have encountered a problem which I can't solve: I've used the secure erase feature to wipe unused parts of the disk before without problem. Now I get the following error message each time I try to use Disk Utility to do so:
    "Secure Erase Free Space failed
    Secure Erase Free Space failed with the error:
    Could not create temporary file"
    I tried it with the hard disk on the computer, my external backup disk, and a USB thumb drive. Same error message in each case.
    If anyone knows the solution I would appreciate the help. I've scoured these fora and the internet to no avail.
    Thanks.

    Tried booting from another hard drive and running Disk Utility Repair Disk? follow up with Disk Warrior after that.
    I would just do a full volume clone, reinitialize, and restore.

  • Secure Erase Free Space

    Secure Erase Free Space Failed
    Secure Erase Free Space failed with the error:
    Couldn't create temporary file.
    Hello, I own a 15" Macbook Pro 2011 Late model but I recently replaced the hard drive with SSD and upgraded the memory to 16gb. It was working fine for about 4 months and now sometime it freezes while browsing or even opening an application. I had to restart the macbook and sometime I would get a white screen. I was able to get by the white screen by restarting constantly. I am afraid to shut this macbook down and end up with a white screen. While I got through the white screen, I was able to use the disk utility and got this message when I was cleaning up free space. My SSD has 431.82 GB free of 478.89 GB. Can anyone tell me where do I locate the temporary file or is there something else I need to fix? Please let me know. Thank you.

    I understands that.

  • Help please - message after using the Erase Free Space function in Disk Ut

    Please help. I've been using my Mac Mini for 6 months and decided I wanted to securely erase previously deleted files, and found the Erase Free Space facility in Disk Utilities. So I chose the option "7-pass Erase of deleted files", and left my Mac Mini to do its business.
    At the end, I got the message that my startup disk is full, but ignored that message because I understand that's normal when free space has been deleted.
    After doing a Restart, things seem to be running smoothly, but I have a Warning message which reads
    Warning. The following disk images failed to mount:
    Image: EFTFile1.sparseimage Reason: corrupt image.
    What does this mean, please, and what do I have to do, if anything?
    I'm completely new to this, so please explain clearly.
    Thanks everyone!!

    Hi again, i've resolved the problem, thanks. It was my inexperience that was helping confuse the issue.
    Sorry to have taken your time. Thanks again for your input.

  • Secure erase free space on SSHD

    I have a 500Gb Toshiba SSHD installed inside my MacBook as a replacement startup drive. Using Disk Utility I have tried to erase/overwrite the free space on this HD. The "Erase Free Space" button is grayed out and hovering gives the following message: "Erasing free space not available on this type of drive".
    Is there anything I can safely do to erase free space? Since I have deleted a large number of files from the HD to free up space for future work, I am just trying to be security conscious.
    An aside: I have wondered if with a SSHD there is less or even no need to erase free space as there might be no residue in the memory locations to permit recovery like there is with a conventional HD, but this is speculation on my part.
    Thanks, John

    A Solid State Device never writes to the same place that you read the data from.  The SSD hardware logic always allocates a new pre-cleared sector and writes to that sector, and the hardware maps that sector to the logical offset for the previous sector.  The previous sector is released to the SSD hardware to be pre-cleared at some future time for reuse as a place to write.
    So zeroing SSD storage just reduces the life of the drive without actually zeroing the data you desire.
    If Mac OS X is detecting that your SSHD has an SSD component, it will not do anything to shorten the life of the SSD component by doing things that are not doing what you expect (aka securely erasing data, which the SSD will NOT be doing).
    If you are using an SSD type device, the ONLY way to make sure deleted files are secure after deletion is to enable FileVault so that the entire disk is ALWAYS encrypted so that deleted files are just random bits to anyone trying to access the data without the disk encryption keys.

  • Need help with the "Erase Free Space" disk utility

    When I use Disk Utilities to Erase Free Space (I use the single zero mode) I get a message telling me,
    "Your Startup Disk is almost Full,
    you need to make more space available
    on your startup disk by deleting files."
    This occurs about 90% of the way through the process (based on where the blue bar is at the time) during the "Creating Temporary File" portion of the process. I know from past experience that I will remain in this portion of the process forever unless I press the "Skip" button to complete the process.
    My questions,
    1. What is the startup disk and why is it full?
    2. What should I do about the Your Startup Disk is Almost Full warning?
    3. Is my computer actually talking about "regular" disk space (I currently have about 9GB of 80GB free but have seen this warning with 30GB available as well).
    4. When I press "Skip" and the blue bar continues to complete the process, have I actually erased free space?

    The Disk Utility does the erase by creating large temporary files, writing to them, then deleting them. While doing this, OSX may notice the lack of free space on the disk. This is normal, but could cause problems if you are also running some applications that want some disk space. If you let if finish, it should delete the temporary files and free the disk space.
    I prefer to run the Disk Utility from the Tiger install disk when doing a Verify, Repair, or Erase Free Space on my boot disk, so I know I won't be interfering with anything running.

  • Why can I no longer Delete Free Space?

    I used to be able to go to disk utilities select a drive and erase free space. Now I cannot does anyone know why?

    If your drive is an SSD you won't have the option to erase free space. This is expected as SSDs have their own way of clearing deleted space.

  • Can't use 7GB of free space i DO have! what a mess!

    hi, im having a quite serious problem with my external HDD. it seems that i lost 7 GB of free space. i dont know how to get them back.
    everything started when i tried to install Linux Debian. so i used an app called ipartition to resize my HDD partitions and let 7 GB of free space to let linux get installed. in fact i couldn't install linux (i ignore the reason) and also i cant access my disc partitions any more through ipartition. so i cant resize them any more. and those 7gb of free space are apparently lost by now. i dont know if its something with ipartition app or there is another solution to this. i also use disk studio but it just re partition volumes. but it doesn't show free space on the HDD.
    any clue? please i need to recover those GBs!!!!

  • ITunes bug using "Automatically fill free space with songs"

    Using iTunes 10.1.0.54 on Windows 7 I've encountered an issue when using the "Automatically fill free space with songs" option with any of my iPod devices.
    The first time I synchronized my iPod using this option everything worked as expected - all the music from my selected playlists was transfered to the device as well as "random" music to fill the remaining space.
    However once I changed the content of the selected playlists and tried to synchronize the device again I got an over capacity warning since the selected music list was now larger than before.
    The only way to properly get my iPod to sync again was to deselect the "Automatically fill free space with songs" option, sync (removing all the extra songs), then re-enable the auto fill option and sync again.
    From a usability point of view this shouldn't be the expected behaviour. When the selected music set grows iTunes should randomly deselect music from the "auto fill" list on the iPod to allow the user to successfully sync their device.
    Is this really the intended behaviour from Apple or is this a bug in iTunes?

    you can report bugs to Apple via this site.

  • How to delete "Free Space" Partition?

    I partitioned my MacBook Pro into 2 volumes so I could dual boot Mavericks and Yosemite Developer Preview. After testing Yosemite, I found out that it was stable enough to run on my main partition. I installed it on my main partition replacing Mavericks and deleted the second partition which included Yosemite. While deleting, somehow I was left with an empty partition called "Free Space" which I cannot delete.
    I am pretty sure the problem isn't related to Yosemite being a developer preview as it could've happened under an previous stable OS. How can I merge my "Free Space" partition with Macintosh HD?
    MacBook Pro with Retina display 13-inch Late 2013
    2.8GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB RAM
    Intel Iris graphics
    512GB SSD
    OS X Yosemite Developer Preview 2

    If you select the top partition, does ////// lines appear in the bottom right hand corner? If so try selecting them and dragging downward. Boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) during a restart and try it there.

  • Help, losing hard drive free space after removing A3

    This one has me scratching my head.
    I've been through all the insanity of trying to get A3 up and running and have decided to give up until Apple gets their act together.
    So I restored my startup drive from a SuperDuper back-up (pre A3) that does have A2 on it. All my A2 libraries, vaults and original RAWS reside on separate drives. Normally this leaves me with 390 +/_ GB of free space on my startup drive. However over the past 2 days since restoring to my pre A3 state I've noticed background drive activity (Activity Monitor shows kernel_task/root making consistent writes to the drive) and my free space has been gradually declining to where it is now shown at 328 GB.
    I did a fresh install of OS10.6.2 and have run directory rebuilds, repaired permissions and Spotlight turned off.
    It's almost as if A3 were still trying to do it's drive eating thing (technical term).
    Can anyone enlighten me about what may be happening?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    This happened to me as well.
    TechTool actually crashed a hard drive big time by filling it to the brim with daily backup files.
    It is supposed to keep only the 5 most current and delete them oldest first.
    I disabled the backup function (TechTool Protection) which is found in the OS X System Prefs.
