ERASER

Last week somebody did asked me "how to completely remove data from my hard drive?"

So i found this tool called Eraser . Pemadam lah pemadam!!

Actually when you delete a file (rite click >delete) the data is not quite "gone". The operating system will only remove the reference of the file from the file system table. It works like a table of content in any books that you have read (or like your final year project report :P). So the file actually remains on the disk until another file is created over it. There are severals undelete utility that can recover these files back.

For more info , Secure Deletion of Data From Magnetic and Solid State Drive .
