FILE SHREDDER PRO : HOW TO SHRED DELETED FILES
Delete Files Permanently - easy way to shred deleted files |
Why you should shred previously deleted files
Do you know that every file, program, movie, picture, photo, document and anything else you have previously deleted using simple 'Delete' are not permanently removed from your PC and can be restored?
If you delete files using standard Windows 'Delete' option, Windows does not actually remove file content from your PC. Windows just deletes a reference to the file from a table that lists all files on your computer but the content of the file still exists until Windows overwrites it with new information. So 'deleted' files are still kept on your hard drive and can be easily recovered. To protect your privacy, you should shred deleted files without any chances to restore them.
Is it enough to empty Recycle Bin or format hard drive to deleted files permanently
The answer is 'no'. If you empty Recycle Bin and even format your hard drive, 'deleted' files still exist on your hard drive and can be easily recovered.
How to shred files you've already deleted
To shred the data you have previously deleted, you need to shred free space. 'Free space' is the area on your hard drive, USB-flash drives, flash memory cards, picture cards, etc where all the previously deleted data is stored until it is overwritten by other information.
