milgar Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 When I scan in Recuva and than delete the files, they do not go away. How can I totally remove these files from my computer. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted July 22, 2008 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2008 Do you mean that the file names are still found by Recuva? These names are held as entries in the MFT and are flagged as deleted. You cannot remove them using Recuva. The entries in the MFT will eventually be reused when new files are created, so the file names will go then, but there will always be some deleted file names remaining in the MFT.
