anres Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Does anyone know of a good and free freespace wiper? Sure, CClean has wipe free space option, but this is not the same as what I have in mind. CClean only wipes unoccupied sectors. Many years ago, when PGP was still doing humanly good, it used to provide a free personal version of PGP that had a freespace wipe function - it not only wipes sectors that are completely unused, but also wipes the unused portion of occupied sectors. But of course, they stopped being nice and stopped giving away anything free anymore. So I am just wondering if anyone knows of some freeware that does this? Thanks.

marmite Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 And of course there's always Eraser. (Ducks and waits for the regurgitated debate about how it's not as good as it used to be and which version is the best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ducks and waits for the regurgitated debate about how it's not as good as it used to be and which version is the best) Nothing newer than version 5.7, which is what I use although it does have some misgivings of its own. I wouldn't touch any newer builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I've been on 5.8.7 for donkeys years, never had an issue and yes it works. Haven't bothered intercepting 6 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
