Veracrypt encrypted file container vs full disk encryption - SIM-2053312 - Apr 2, 2017
I have a veracrypt encrypted file container because I didn't know how to do the full disk encryption one. Which one is better for security? I put all my things that I want hid in my file container.

Problem is, any files containing sensitive data that you write to the HDD outside the container are vulnerable. Even when you create them, copy them into the encrypted container and then delete them, those originals created on the non-encrypted partition can still be forensically recovered.
You can still work safely using just a container, but you must remain mindful of this problem.

Can't I use ccleaner? How do I use full disk encryption? I didn't understand it

Choose system drive if ur OS boots of it, other wise choose the other one to encrypt regular storage HDD/SSDs not too hard to use

full disk encryption, what you do in your container will leak shit tone of information on your windows partition (thanks bill) , fallow data leaks precautions from their documentation .Is better to encrypt anything because you dont need to worry about windows screwing you over.

I don't know how to do it. I have multiple hard drives, how would I encrypt them all?
Someone please help? :/

Look what it says on the second one. I can't encrypt those drives that does not boot with windows.

If you can't crypt them as "OS partition", just crypt them with the normal process and decrypt them manually or make a favorite list to mount them each time veracrypt is opened.
