When you delete files from the Recycle Bin, they're not really gone. They linger on the hard drive, out of sight, but still within reach. This can spell trouble if you're getting rid of a computer.
This program is a handy tool that deletes files permanently. It overwrites a file's space several times over with meaningless data. The result is a deleted file nearly impossible to recover.
Eraser even meets military standards (5220.22-M) for digital deletion. And it includes a Nuke Boot Disk feature. This creates a boot disk that can quickly erase an entire hard drive! That can come in handy when it's time to sell your computer.
