Hello Everyone

So . I Installed CCleaner And I Loved It . But What I Need To Know : Does CCleaner gives Me confidence that once deleted, My File Data Is Gone Forever & Can't Be Recovered ?

This Point Is Really Important . So I Hope You'll Reply To My Topic . Thanks

If you use secure deletion, one overwrite, the data held in the sectors addressed by the file will be unrecoverable forever. The filename will remain in the MFT but will be changed to some combination of ZZZZ.ZZZ: the MFT entry will eventually be used for a new file name (in most cases).

However it is possible that the deleted file could be recovered. There may well be sectors floating about in hiberfile, pagefile, sys recovery, bad sectors, temp copies used in edits, and no doubt other places not only that I can't think of at the moment, but those I don't know about at all. Some of these sectors might be recoverable with Recuva deep scan. Others won't easily be accessible, except to data recovery experts.

For most people CC secure deletion is fine. Even Recuva deep scan is pretty fine, due to the time it takes and the amount of files to plough through if you don't know the file name you're looking for. And data recovery experts? Do you worry about them?

Normally only CIA, FBI or Interpol are interested if you are that paranoid.

You aren't involved in Terrorism or some other illegal Internet activity are you?
