The data remains until it is eventually written over. You need to use a utility that actually writes random data over the current data. Preferrably several times. There should be several free ones available for download. Often they are called shredders.<br><b>References : </b><br> Deleting a file is actually only deleting the pointer to where the data resides.

While BCWipe is something you run periodically, there's also software to let you do this on the fly, essentially replacing the recycle bin with the equivalent of a paper shredder that wipes any file you delete for good. If you install one, tread with caution: Once you delete something, even by mistake, there's no going back. Simple File Shredder is a good (and free) choice to check out. If you want to erase everything from your hard drive, I recommend Active@ KillDisk. This free utility conforms to US Department of Defense clearing and sanitizing standard DoD 5220.22-M.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.jetico.com/ http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Secure-cleaning/Simple-File-Shredder.shtml http://www.killdisk.com/ I recommend BCWipe, which lets you permanently wipe only the free space on your hard drive while leaving the non-deleted files intact by overwriting those deleted files with lots of random data so it can't be recovered.
