Or run a utility that wipes out free space on a daily basis. There are several that I have seen. I am not affiliated with Jetico other than a user, but I use their BestCrypt encrypted filesystem for Windows (which is a great product), and it comes with a utility to fry unused portions of your hard drive and other locations that could contain old data. The drive wiper is available as a seperate download and is free for noncomercial use. It's about $10 for the purchased version.
Why pay money for something so simple ? #!/usr/bin/perl # cleanse.pl # Sets empty disk space to zero # # number of times to wipe the partition my $num = 10; my $count; my $x = 'x' x (1024 * 1024); for (0..$num) { if (open (FILE, '>'.$count++.'.clean')) { print FILE $x; close (FILE); } else { print "$_ "; qx|rm *.clean|; next; } } sub END { qx|rm *.clean|; } # banjo 1;
