How to wipe free space
When you delete files using 'Delete' button, it doesn't really delete files from your PC, removable disks, USB-flash drives, memory sticks, flash memory cards, picture cards, etc. This operation just removes the reference to the file but file still exists. Of course it protects your information from accidental deleting. But in this case any unauthorized person may find, recover and use it maliciously.
To protect your privacy you should wipe free space to ensure that previously 'deleted' files cannot be recovered.

 Tips:
1. If you use Windows Vista, we recommend you run Delete Files Permanently as administrator so you have permissions to delete all necessary files, wipe Free Space and Recycle Bin.
If you use Windows XP/2003/2000/ME, make sure you have administrative privileges.
2. If you use anti-virus scanner that checks saved to disk files, it could slow files wiping, wiping Free Space and Recycle Bin as anti-virus scanner checks files after each overwriting/verification pass.

Double-click on Delete Files Permanently desktop icon
Click 'Tools' button  in the toolbar.
Select 'Wipe Free Space' item.
Select preferred wiping scheme from the drop-down list.
If you don't remember how this wiping scheme will destruct your files, you can use 'View scheme' button to view all passes.

 Note: The higher the level of wiping (the more number of passes), the more time the process takes. Unless special security is desired, the single-pass, double-pass or triple-pass wiping methods are sufficient to prevent data recovering.

Select where you want to wipe free space on.
