bosundave 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Recuva recovered 28, 414 files in various states. How can I completely shred these? I do not want to recover them and just want to completely delete them to make it easier in the future to find and recover some deleted file I DO want. Link to post Share on other sites

login123 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Right now I do that by wiping the free space on the HD, but it is a slow business. I have used 2 free utilities, sdelete and eraser, and know them to work OK. I like sdelete better because it renames the files after it wipes them; all the characters in the names end up as Z. I don't know if the other 2 do that or not. sdelete (free) has a free space wipe feature: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysintern...sk/SDelete.mspx Eraser (free) has a feature to wipe free space. Be careful. Use only the latest version: http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/ A third utility, Paragon Hard Disk manager (still free, I think) also has such an option. Frankly, paragon is not something I would install if I only wanted to wipe the free space on a hard drive. I haven't used it for that yet. http://www.computeractive.co.uk/partitionmanager/index Recuva is a great program, and I look forward to a release which incorporates a secure deletion option. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

snowdrift 0 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Restoration (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html) will permanently delete vacant clusters -- including those reported with 0 file sizes. However it works should be how Recuva strives to perform. ;-) Go, developers, go! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdrift 0 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Recuva, BTW, is a very nice clean app. Just like CCleaner! Link to post Share on other sites
