Greetings,
RECUVA at Its best (maybe)!!!
I recently bought a used computer from an associate in my building.
I was fairly cheap and wanted one to keep at the house for the family (kids).
When I got it home I fired it up to do a check. I ran Recuva. While he did a
great job(?) on removing all of his apps/software, there was left alot of "deleted"
files on the HD!?! I fear there are alot of X Rated/Porn stuff he not knowingly
left on. My question is this, how do I clean this stuff off this computer? On my
other computer I sometimes use a 'pro eraser' to really delete items. I will install
my 'eraser' on this computer. But how do I remove these type of files that are
already there. Can Something be added on to Recuva to accomplish this (popular)
task?
Thanks for help

Use Eraser to wipe free space on the drive.
