I need securely erase data from hard drive, to leave computer forever at
work.
Which application can securely erase data from hard drive?
Also, can be securely erased only files, without removing operating system
and reformatting hard drive? As I read, simply erasing all the data on the
hard drive and formatting it is not enough security. Formatting the hard
drive is a bit more secure than simply erasing the files. Formatting a disk
does not erase the data on the disk, only the address tables. It makes it
much more difficult to recover the files. However a computer specialist
would be able to recover most or all the data that was on the disk before
the reformat.
