      Hello, Mike...              Jul 10, 2011 at 21:27, Mike Powell wrote to All:                      MP> Is there a method to permanently delete a file, rather than moving it         MP> to        MP> the recycle bin or otherwise leaving some recoverable footprint on         MP> the HD?              I think the simplest solution would be to find a file that is longer and use       the CLI copy command to copy it into the file you want to get rid of.              While I can't be certain, I believe that the new data would occupy the same       physical space on the disk.              Regards,              Jerry Schwartz              mailto:jerryschwartz@comfortable.com       http://www.writebynight.com              --- Msged/NT 6.0.1        * Origin: Write by Night (1:142/928)    |
