Deleting Files

[throwitout]

Hello. Can anyone recommend a good file delete app for WinXP (preferably
freeware)? I'm currently using Clean Disk Security but I'm curious as to
what others are using. TIA.

A 1-pass psydorandom is enough for normal use (protection against
undelete apps) unless there's actually the chance that someone's going
to disassemble your hard drive and do a very detailed analysis. A 7 or
35 pass will normally just waste time.

There's also a portable version which is handy to keep on a USB drive:
