Recuva, Restoration type programs

Have been playing with Recuva and Restoration to remove deleted file refs from
my hard drives. The problem is that Restoration just takes too long. Right now I have 167 deleted files on C: and 4 on D: Using Restoration it would take 5 hours to clean C: and more tha 24 hours to clean D:

is there a program that can just clean the file refs and no took the empty space ?

 

RESTORATION does a great job at cleaning already deleted files but i agree it can take on my units anywhere from a couple hours to all night long to complete. I second a faster way or program to do the same job myself.

Easter the way that I used Restoration was to use Acronis Disk Director to reduce my 1 TB data drive to 100 gb. Then used Restoration to delete about 55,000 old deleted entries. Finally expanded back to 1 TB. Still took far too long and any not sure if it is worth the trouble. If I could "clean" a drive in say 30 mins then I would do it but all night ? not sure I can be bothered.

 

Have to agree although i still on some units follow my same old routine. The only way you can avoid such build up i would assume might be the use of a Virtual System like Returnil or other where on reboot everything restores to ground zero again.
