Huh? If you simply open the Recycle Bin and delete the contents, they are
gone. How can you delete something that has already been deleted? "Big mark" wrote in message ... Does anyone know any free programs that delete the already deleted files regards Mark

You might want to consider that, if you are concerned about security, you'll probably get what you pay for. HTH -pk

Hi Big Mark,
I may be wrong here (no doubt someone will correct me if I am) but if you defrag the hard drive after deleting your sensitive data the files will become unrecoverable even for an undeleter.

Yes, that's correct. No file deleted by choosing to right click and then
selecting Delete, or by selecting the file and choosing EditDelete is removed from the hard drive. That file space is simply made available for writing by the operating system. Nothing is ever "deleted" from your hard drive without the use of third-party, so called "file shredder" applications and disk overwrite programs. Is this what you are asking about?
