Permanently delete deleted files
Do you know that every file, program, movie, picture, photo, document and anything else you have previously deleted using Windows 'Delete', are not permanently removed from your computer and can be recovered using special tools. If you need to delete 'deleted' files forever and prevent your sensitive data from being recovered, you should use special software like Delete Files Permanently that helps you permanently delete deleted files from your hard drive, flash drive, or other storage devices
Why you need to delete deleted files
If you delete files using standard methods, Windows does not actually remove files contents; it just deletes references to deleted file from a table that lists all files on your computer but the contents of files still exist until Windows overwrites this space with new information. So 'deleted' files are still kept on your hard drive and can be recovered. To protect your privacy, you should permanently delete deleted files without any chances to restore them.
