Scanning and Repairing drive (C) stuck at 46%

[GarrettRocky]

Hey guys i was using CCleaners drive wiper for free space only and it was around 67% completed when i noticed my computer started getting super slow, So i checked task manager and my disk was running at 100%, i then restarted my PC and "Scanning and Repairing drive (c) popped up. i let it run and its stuck at 46%, so i restarted again and skipped the scanning/repairing part and my disk is still running at a full 100%, i have never ever had this problem until i tried to wipe the free space on my hdd.

EDIT: i also just checked and i only have 147GB free out of 930GB. before i started the wipe i had around 560GB free, where did it all go? lol

EDIT V2: the scan finished and i have my 560gb free gain but my disk is still running at 100%, took me 15 mins just to login to my PC :/



i5-4790k
1TB WD Blue
gigabyte z97x gaming 5

Does anyone know why this is happening? thanks for the look and sorry for the long post lol

if you were wiping and it did not finish, then dummy data written to the drive for the wipe was not removed and is still there taking up space.

That would be my guess.

yeah i was just reading something about that, but why would my disk usage be at 100%? i cant even use my computer right now and finish the wipe because it is so slow, i cant even open up chrome :/
