They say the only safe way to delete data so that it is unrecoverable (like if you want no one to see it) is to delete the file 30 times, then do that 30 times. They make programs to do that called eraser. there are different settings, like delete 8 times and do it 8 times over and over, and my buddy was still able to recover the data.
wow, that took longer than expected, but yeah, search around, you'd be surprised at what they can revive. |
Ahh, no amount of re-deletion will really erase the data. I'm not sure how it works with NTFS, or linux partitions for that matter, but with the FAT system, it's like a book. You have your table of contents, and then the actual book. Except you never look at the pages, you just look at the table of contents. If you want to delete something, all you're really doing is removing the entry in the table of contents, whereas the actual data is still there. What file recovery programs do is cross-reference the table of contents against the actual contents, and anything that shouldn't be there but is there, is "recovered." Thus, if you really really REALLY wanted to get rid of something, you'd either have to get a program that actually removes the data on those sectors, or you can overwrite the data with something else.

. Freq Limit is gone, too. Well, start from scratch...AGAIN. This is the second time it happens but the first time I don't know what happened.
