Hardware Secrets has put together an article that shows you how to really delete your files. We have a method that can be used on multiple drives at once.
A lot of people don’t known, but when we delete a file from a computer, it isn’t really deleted. The operating system simply remove it from the file list and makes the space the file was using available for new data to be written. In other words, the operating system doesn’t “zero” (i.e., doesn’t clean) the space the file was using.
