If I delete a file and then delete it from the Recycle Bin, it's not completely gone. How can I make a deleted file whose name I no longer remember irretrievable? Can I still delete a file that I've deleted from all the Recycle Bins, etc.?

Loading...Hello, I wanted to expand the memory on my laptop with a Crucial P3 Plus 2TB because it is available for 104 euros on Amazon, primarily for games and their launchers. Can I do that?
I have a laptop that refuses to turn on as soon as I connect the new SSD. I have an HP laptop 15-bs0xx with i3 processor, 16 GB RAM, 1 tb HDD (I want to use it as storage and not as main disk). I bought a Crucial P3 Plus PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD…
Hello! I installed a new hard drive (SATA port 6 in the picture!). It's listed in the BIOS, but when I start the PC, the drive isn't listed in Explorer. Do I need to enable it somehow to make it visible in Explorer? Thanks in advance
I have a question, I'm interested in what was in there but I can't open it, why?
I moved Linux Mint to my second USB stick, as you can see in the picture, and then booted it onto my laptop. During the boot process, the Linux operating system partitioned itself, and I can't seem to delete this partitioning. I'd like to completely clean up the USB stick so it has full storage…
Hi, I have a gaming laptop, but the only problem is that the 500 GB of total storage isn't enough. So I wanted to buy an external SSD or hard drive. Which is more worthwhile? SSDs are more expensive but faster, while hard drives are cheaper but a bit slower, and games take longer to…
To ensure that a deleted file cannot be recovered, you need to overwrite the areas of the hard drive in which the file was stored. Since you no longer know the name of the file, the best approach is to safely overwrite the entire free space on the hard drive.
There are various tools that can help you safely overwrite the free space. Some of these tools are:
Note that the overwriting of free space at SSDs (Solid-State Drives) can be less effective than with conventional hard drives (HDDs) due to wear-leveling algorithms and other functions. For SSDs, it is recommended to use the built-in Secure Erase function or the TRIM command to safely delete the entire drive content. However, note that this deletes all data on the drive, not only the desired file.
TRIM Deleted not all files on the hard drive, but only the freely marked storage space.
Besides, the answer sounds kind of like AI.
Yes. By overwriting the freely declared storage area on the hard drive with dummy data. Windows has the command line tool “cipher” on board. Parameter “/w”. There are also graphic tools for this. With SSDs it is different because of complete but storage technology. Here you should send a TRIM command to the SSD. The SSD manufacturers offer their own tools. Third-party tools such as “O&O Defrag Professional” can be used across the manufacturer, but are paid.
Complete overwriting of an SSD with dummy data is not recommended, as the service life of the SSD suffers and the success cannot be guaranteed. You have to do with SSD’s internal technology.
By shooting them, about 7 times deletion and 7 x overwriting.
Windows itself does not have this function in the board means. Use third-party software
Yes, Windows has. The command is “cypher”.
Oh, how’s that going?
You can decide what’s safe for you and what’s not, data protection is for everyone. There are enough tools that can restore despite Cipher.exe. 3-7x overwrite only ensures actual non-restorability. This has often been proven by relevant crackers;)
Third-party tools help but continue or a Linux bootable from cd
What’s not the same?
7x overwrite is unfuge.
This is not the same in the approach;) Especially since to make sure to shredder 7x deletion and 7x overwrite 🙂 And important to say that doesn’t make it on SSD drives, as they have limited write access and the drive fails earlier.
