How securely
do
you want to delete
your files?
Quick delete: The files will be overwritten with a single
character. The files no longer contain the original text, but
endless columns of a single letter.
Secure delete: A method that was developed by the US
Department of Defense (Regulation DoD 5220.22M) is used.
The files are overwritten with special data patterns multiple
times before deletion, thereby destroying the original contents
so effectively that even expensive examinations of the
magnetic structure of the disk in a special laboratory cannot
recover the data.
