As most everyone knows, deleting a folder, PICTURES, MOVIES, articles or account numbers to the Windows OS regular waste basket does not really delete anything. The Win OS either gives the deleted item a different file name, or simple mildly overrides the file or folders. I have been looking for free software that only wipes the empty portions of the hard drive.
Well I found a software give away on GIZMO’S Freeware web site, that one normally has to pay for, but they’re giving away 1 year subscriptions for free. The software is called IOLO DriveScrubber. Below is some info on the software and links for GIZMO’S and the IOLO’s home page. YOU MUST GO TO GIZMO’S WEB SITE and click on the links to the Iolo give away site. You will have to provide some information to get the KEY to use the software, but for what the software program does it’s worth it. At any rate your choice.
Gizmo’s a great site for freeware, DriveScrubber 3 with a 1-Year License for free | Gizmo's Freeware (http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/drivescrubber-3-1-year-license-free.htm)
When you delete data or format a drive you assume the files,
pictures, email or documents no longer exist on your computer.
But your private data still exists, and it only takes basic knowledge of
PCs to find it.
For total security, you need DriveScrubber power.
• Permanently erase files, pictures, documents, credit card info, bank statements, passwords and more
• Securely wipe all drive data before selling, donating or recycling your PC
• Restore your drives to like-new after virus or spyware damage
• Wipes PC drives, flash drives, cameras and more
