Does Wipe Free Space do a read verify pass?
I read the product description but did not find the information. If Wipe Free Space does 3 write passes of data patterns, is each write pass then followed by a read pass to verify the write pass completed correctly?
The status should be displayed in the progress report, such as:
Write pass 1: writing zeros
Read pass 1: verifying
Pass 1 complete at [date, time], elapsed time [hh:mm:ss]
Write pass 2: writing ones
Read pass 2: verifying
Pass 2 complete at [date, time], elapsed time [hh:mm:ss]
Write pass 3: writing random data
Read pass 3: verifying
Pass 3 complete at [date, time], elapsed time [hh:mm:ss]
Wipe Free Space complete.

Thank you for your letter.
We are so sorry for the inconvenience.
In order to understand and solve your issue, we need to ask you first a few questions:
-Which Glary Utilities version are you using?
-What is your operating system: win10 32bit or 64bit?
Could you please explain the issue you have encountered in detail? Screenshots would also be very helpful to understand the problem at a glance.

I am using the current Glary Utilities version v5.136.0.162 running on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.
I would like screen confirmation from the software that each write pass during a wipe free space operation was verified as successful. I would like to save the wipe verification report for my records.
I have no screenshots.
