More on that ‘Delete’ issue!

Further to my previous post on when Delete does not really mean Delete.

I came across this story in my copy of the Sunday Times that I purchased while I was away in Mid-Wales over the weekend. It again stresses the need to make sure that you wipe the hard drive of your computer before you dispose of it, adding that re-formatting of the hard drive does not always ensure that your data is destroyed.

The article does not list software programs that do this job, but does mention the Blancco Data Cleaner, full details on the link page. I’ve not used this program but it does seem to make some very good claims, cost of around £16.95. Has anyone heard about or used this?
