SECURE DATA ERASING
Background
Whenever you delete a file including but not limited to : (Document, Picture, Music file) using Windows, Linux, or another Operating System (OS), the OS does not actually remove the file, it will only delete some reference/link to the system table to where that file is stored.
The OS marks the sectors containing the data as unused. The OS will write over these so-called unused sectors in the future. However, if anybody were to run a File Recovery utility program, you can recover data from these sectors if it hasn’t already been overwritten or thoroughly erased. Hardware recovery tools may even restore overwritten files by analyzing latent magnetic traces.
We offer two services one for Home users and one for business users outlined below.
