I do it on everything because of something called fragmentation. Lastly there is another benefit to erasing/overwriting all files and folders with 1s & 0s.

I finally settled on File Shredder and Slim Cleaner.įor wiping the free area of a disk I would not hesitate to use CCleaner, though there are others that I have used that do a fine job. I have used others but these do an acceptable job and have configuration options. Some tools I have used for erasing files and folders that have right click options in the windows shell to make it more convenient are: Eraser, Slim Cleaner, and File Shredder.

For sensitive data I use 7 times as the minimum.

For non-sensitive data 1 to 3 times is more than sufficient. I won’t get into all of the erasure methods but let’s just say that the more times you set the program to overwrite the data with 1s & 0s the longer it takes so don’t get carried away. That only works if you do it before you start saving files that may overwrite the area that was marked as free.Īs I have seen mentioned elsewhere there are many tools that do the job of permanently erasing files and folders. Before all of the file recovery tools hit the market I used a HEX Editor to go in and add back the missing characters and voila the file reappears. It deletes the first few characters of the file name in the File Allocation Table. Standard Deletions only mark the filename as deleted and the data area as unallocated/free. Having missed the focus of permanent erase versus delete I thought I might as well get long winded again. Would the 'Webroot permantly erase' option take care of this? Everything of course, wants my permission but before I give it I want to be as sure as possible that I am making the smartest move possible.

I also found a software removal tool (from Google, but I don't really have any idea what it would do or what it is for) I even found a McAfee uninstallation folder, but the McAfee requested permission to make changes to my computer, I really am not liking that idea. When I have clicked on 'delete' Windows File Operation requests my permission to make changes to my computer (I assume that deleting the files are the changes), sometimes when I click delete I get a 'recycling window'.

In my pc I do not have anything McAfee listed in my uninstall program section, yet I seem to be finding McA. When I clicked on McAfee folders a drop-down menu offered some different choices,amoung them : 'scan with webroot' (which I did & no threats were found), 'Webroot permanently erase' and another option 'Delete' (which I assume is Windows).
