Michael Byerly Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) I delete files almost daily. I'll admit that a lot of the files are securely deleted, but not all of them by any means. Why are there 0 Files found? Okay, I clicked the Scan button. Now it says over 420K files found, but none matches to the filter. Do I really have to do a Deep Scan just to see files deleted unsecurely? Thank you, Michael Edited August 13, 2020 by Michael Byerly sentence restructure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted August 13, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 13, 2020 The simple answer is that there are no records in the MFT flagged as deleted that match your selection criteria. A deep scan will not help as it doesn't return any file names, as they are held in the MFT. Securely deleted files (if I remember correctly, years since I've done any) are renamed so they also won't be found, and if they were they would contain zeroes.
