Hard Drive Erasing
I have a friend that deals with digital forensics. He told me that no matter what I do, the files I "delete" are always there, that the computer just cant see them. That even if I overwrite the deleted files, there are still "images" (so to speak) of the old files, and that the images can be recovered back into the original file.
So how can I fully delete old files, so that they are gone FOREVER. I've heard that the files never are fully gone, even if I use a HDD free space cleaning program. I have Acronis (for backups, but a cleaning utility is included) and it says that it can "clean" the free space on the HDD so that there are no traces of the old deletes. So which is correct?
