Wipe data

Wiping data is a process which allows users to completely erase data from a disk. When data is wiped, the sectors of the disk where files and folders were situated physically are rewritten with zeroes (the data can't be recovered) in contrast to a process of ordinary files deletion when only the pointer to the file in the file allocation table is deleted (files in this case can be restored).



Testimonials and User Comments


Its an excellent product and does exactly what I wanted it to do. I wish I had looked into this years ago, because now its so quick and easy to switch between operating systems and set up test environments.
