When I analyze my computer, it says 800MB to be removed.

Great, I'll free up some space. I remove it, and 10 seconds later, only 27MB have been removed.
Wtf?

So I re-analyze it, and it says "0 bytes to be removed"

Impossible.
Any idea how to fix this? I went into the options and under secure file deletion, I changed it to Gutmann (35 passes). Maybe that will help, I'm not sure.

It's probably just a miscalculation of how much space it will free up. It is only an analysis, so just because it says it will remove 800MB does not mean it actually will. On the other hand, that is a severe miscalculation...

Maybe you accidentally unselected something?

Make sure you have nothing else open.

I don't think CCleaner deletes any Firefox related files if it's open.
(For example)

BF2S Forums CCleaner not working properly.
