What's the best way to permanently delete the stuff off your computer? Is it one of the scramble programs that you can purchase and if so, has anyone had any good stuff from any of them available?
The one I've find is a freeware file 'shredder' - here.
Basically, while I would figure my work laptop will be just re-imaged and deployed or stuck in a cupboard never to see the light of day again, I can't *really* assume that's going to happen. Basically, I know someone with at least a little IT savvy can retrieve deleted files and I really want any writing I did on this computer (fannish and otherwise) completely gone. Not because it's naughty per se (I didn't really *do* that on this computer just for the sole reason that it really wasn't mine forever and ever) but I just... *makes helpless hands*
I just want to make sure, y'know?
