| About Deleting Data |
 |
| Do you think that emptying the
Recycle Bin will permanently delete files? |
 |
| Do you think that formatting
hard disk will permanently delete hard disk data? |
 |
| Actually, neither erasing files
by emptying the Recycle Bin nor formatting hard disk will
destruct data permanently. |
 |
Why
aren’t they erased? |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
For example,
to erase a file on Windows by emptying
Recycle Bin means just to put information
of "ERASED" in the index area. Data itself
remains in the data area without being
erased. Unfortunately, the file can be
easily recovered and viewed by data recovery
software within a few minutes. |

How
to erase data permanently |
 |
 |
To
erase a file permanently, you need to
overwrite data (for example, 0x00, 0xff,
random value, etc) in its index and data
areas. Normally, even if you simply overwrite
zero (0x00) on a file once, the data
cannot be recovered by any data recovery
software. But unfortunately the data
overwritten once or twice can be recovered
by magnetization pattern analyzers such
as Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM). In
general, to erase data completely, it
is recommended to overwrite data at least
three times. |

BluestSoft
DiskDeleter supports DOD5220.22-M, which
is the guideline published by the US
Department of Defense for erasing magnetic
media to guarantee that all data previously
contained on that magnetic media is deleted
permanently. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
DOD 5220.22-M
overwrites data total three times, first
by 0x00 once then its compliment value
0xff once, and finally random values
once. After the final process is complete,
the disk is read to verify data to make
sure there is no lingering pattern. |
