You can specify how many times the deletion process should be performed
under Repeat the delete operation. The more the process is repeated, the more
secure the deletion will be, and the longer the process will take.
Click Next to begin the deletion process. Please wait until this is successfully
completed. If you do not want to delete any more files, you can close the wizard
by clicking Finish.
If you wish to delete additional files or folders, simply 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.
