Is there a better method than another to delete these files? I have all my Nikon pics from say 2010 on, housed on my work laptop and need to delete them (I already backed them up, twice). I am getting a new laptop in Jan. I don't want a stitch of family photo's on here. Any assistance would be great. Thanks.

Running the below function now on C drive. I read that it only "wipes" free space (see below). It leaves "normal files" in tact. Can anyone elaborate on what "normal files" are / consist of? Thanks. Method 2 (Manually wipe with Drive Wiper): Select Tools > Drive Wiper Choose the type of wipe you require: Free Space Only will leave your normal files intact Entire Drive will erase all of the files on the drive. WARNING, this means the whole of the partition will be erased. The drive will still be formatted, but all data will be erased. For safety reasons, this feature is disabled for the boot drive. Choose the type of security you require (Simple Overwrite is ok for most situations) CCleaner will warn you before proceeding --- thanks.
