So it doesn't appear to be working as it claims. I also use CCleaner and it doesn't delete index.dat files either even though the checkbox to remove those files is checked before running the program. Windows is REALLY holding us ALL hostage with this file and I don't like it at all!!! Then they WARN THE CRAP out of you telling you that this file is a SYSTEM files and you could cause HARM to your system if you edit or modify the file. So, you are basically STUCK with this ever growing file and no real way to delete it without going into SAFE MODE to do it... It's CRAP!!!

My guess is that it can be recovered easily as no shredding occurs. But what happens with the deleted data ? My guess is that it can be recovered easily as no shredding occurs.

CCleaner is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware! :) The best thing about this software is that it clears all the information in the INDEX.DAT file. well i have found this freeware called ccleaner here is its description.
