Due to the nature of CleanSweep being an application that removes data from a Windows machine, it is imperative to note that potential or undesired data loss can potentially occur. Please do not select options in which you wish to keep data for, especially for Windows .Old folders, and previous Windows installs. These are unrecoverable once removed, as are most options in this application. Please use CleanSweep at your own risk.
