can-do

Mac OS 10.12.6 I have tried erase free space twice, once on hard drive and once on memory stick. 35 pass, then try disk recovery to see if it works. some jpeg and text and one video remain and open in original condition pro 1.14.145 why dosen't it work?

Yes, 600+ recoverable jpg. They open in greatly reduced file size. ( a recognised photo open @ 29KB ) so it wasn't, 'erased' Documents open in pages. Videos open, however I have never seen them before. ie 2 seconds of someone hiking or skiing.

On a MacBook Pro10.12.2 I recently ran erase free space 35 pass. being curious I ran data recovery after that and found 100's of deleted files of all file types. deleted documents, jpeg, tiff, png. gif all the image file types. all the video file types. Also web archive and zip. There were about 700 recovered jpg. many videos and documents from the past. Many of the files are 'system' content, others, jpeg and mpg are things I have never seen before. Some of theses may be "system" or some part of iMovie, one - three second second videos. The remainder was all deleted items I recognised, many business documents, family photos etc. So, what is a 35 pass erase free space if all this material is still there? cheers and thank you in advance P
