SECURE WIPE SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS
How to secure wipe a hard drive, USB drive, flash drive and other removable drives
Most people have information that they don't want to share with others (personal information, credit card numbers, stored passwords, etc). So before disposing or giving away your computer, external hard drive or other removable drives, you must be certain that all sensitive information has been deleted without any chance of recovery.
Many people believe that simply deleting files and then emptying the Recycle Bin or formatting a hard drive is enough to securely wipe sensitive data. That is not true. After emptying the Recycle Bin and even after formatting your hard drive, 'deleted' files can be restored using undelete tools
The only way to secure wipe sensitive data is to use special wipe software. Delete Files Permanently securely wipes an entire hard drive as well as individual files and folders, free space and the Recycle bin.
Prevent restoring deleted data with Delete Files Permanently!
