File recovery and Destruction
Under Repeat the delete operation, specify how many times
you wish to have the selected deletion method repeated. The
security of the deletion can be enhanced further by increasing
the number of repetitions, but the time required will also
increase.
How many times
should the deletion
operation be
repeated?
Click Next to start deletion. Please wait until the program is
completed. If you do not wish to delete any other files or
folders, you can close the wizard by clicking Finish.
If you wish to delete additional files or folders, click Back.
Shredding a File After Deletion
If you have already deleted a file by “normal” means, the only
way to reliably destroy it is by using a special tool that
overwrites all free space on your drives.
Tip: When you defragment a drive, any deleted files are
normally overwritten in the process and cannot be recovered
afterwards.
