bushbaby Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 When I Wipe Free Space the estimated time remaining is always the same whether I select Normal (1 pass) or Secure (35 passes) or anything between. This makes me think that they are all doing the same thing. Any ideas? Oh dear! I have just noticed that CC only Securley Deletes files which are still in the recycle bin. Others are deleted using the Normal (quick) method. This could explain everything as my recycle bin was empty when I carried out the test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Apparently WFS only uses a single pass; multiple passes are used for secure file deletion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
