The .ZZZ (CCleaner Securely Deleted File) file extension is an encrypted file format produced by Piriform CCleaner. It is part of the file deleted by the program during its operation. The purpose of the.ZZZ file is to securely keep deleted files until they are overwritten when other files are created in the system.
The files that are deleted with CCleaner software are identified with the .ZZZ extension. They consist of previously deleted files and folders that still remained on the hard drive of the computer before they were completely deleted with specialized third-party software. Those files were not removed as this is done by the Piriform CCleaner, which also overwrites those data with random symbols.
Similar File Extensions
Other similar file extensions used by CCleaner for securely deleting data include newestdld, ccflddld, ccgui_history, and ccmruc_history.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ZZZ) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ZZZ extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ZZZ file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ZZZ extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ZZZ extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ZZZ file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ZZZ file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ZZZ file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ZZZ file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ZZZ file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
