  • Permanent deletion of files

    From Peter Percival@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 15 19:02:23 2016
    I'm seeking a utility, preferably free!, that will destroy all traces of selected disk files, perhaps by overwriting them many times with random
    data. Also, it should, if asked, overwrite empty disk space with random
    data. Any suggestions?
