Is it okey to cancel a cc cleaner Driver wipe (free space wipe) midway?

No space has been used on my HDD that is visible, during beginning this. I also realised this doesn't speed up my HDD so I have no interest in it now.

It is only necessary to use the Drive Wiper on the free space if you want to ensure that no data remaining in that free space can be recovered by data recovery software, since data that has simply been deleted (even if recycle bin has been emptied) still remains in the free space until it gets overwritten by new data. The Drive Wiper does that.

Stopping the Drive Wiper before completion will do no harm.
