Re: file wiping clean?

For wiping all the free space on a disk, this was mentioned recently.

There are also many tools which act like a "shredder" for your desktop wastebasket.

No specific recommendation, just somewhere to look

Re: file wiping clean?

am I to understand that these things will allow actual removal of data or whatever from a file or files and leave it empty and not be traceable by some computer forensic expert?
I will check out your suggestions.
Is anything available commercially like at fry's ?
Thanks for the info.
