Delete files permanently without leaving any traces of it!!

Most of the people still believe that once the files get deleted using ‘Delete’ button, Shift + Delete key combination, formatting the hard drive or emptying the recycle bin etc., will permanently erase the deleted files from their system. However, it’s not true. Though the files are deleted they still reside on the hard drive or any device form where it was deleted and can be easily recovered using data recovery software. Maintaining the privacy on storage devices is not as simple as we think.

When you delete a file, the hard drive or any storage device does not delete that file permanently. Instead the allocation area or the index of the file system (FAT or NTFS) tags the space used by the deleted file as empty. But the actual contents of the file will always exist even if the file has been deleted until it is overwritten by the new files. Deleted file, which is not yet overwritten, can be easily recovered with any recovery tools.

Hence, if you have any vital files that are confidential then, how will you delete files beyond recovery? Don’t worry, Just Chill!!

In order to ensure that your deleted files are erased forever, you need to use a file shredder tool to achieve this.
