Setting a free space bleaching schedule
Free space bleaching can be performed occasionally for assets that you delete by selecting Simple
Delete Settings in File Sanitizer, by moving the assets to the Windows Recycle Bin, or by deleting
the assets manually. Free space bleaching provides no additional security to shredded assets.
NOTE: A scheduled task starts at a specific time. If the system is turned off or is in Standby at the
scheduled time, File Sanitizer will not attempt to relaunch the task.
1. Open File Sanitizer, and then click Bleaching.
2. To schedule a future time to bleach your hard drive, select the Activate Scheduler check box,
enter your Windows password, and then select a day and time.
3. Click Apply.
NOTE: The free space bleaching operation can take a significant length of time. Be sure that your
computer is connected to AC power. Although free space bleaching is performed in the background,
increased processor usage may affect your computer's performance. Free space bleaching can be
performed after hours or when the computer is not in use.
