MetaCleaner Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Hello, Could there be an added metadata remover? Perhaps it could be used to scrub the metadata on all files within a specified folder as well as for individually selected files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIZZ Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have a similar question, wondering how secure the "normal" file remover works. Is it the standard kind of erase that removes only the front part of a file, leaving the rest of the file searchable? Is it possible to do a multi-scrubbing kind of erase that prevents a forensic extraction of the original file, as some other programs do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Augeas Posted February 19, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 19, 2019 What? This isn't really a suggestion, is it? A CC normal deletion just runs the equivalent of a shift/del, so the file is flagged as deleted in the MFT and the data remains until overwritten. A secure erase will overwrite the data before deletion, one pass is quite sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIZZ Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Augeas, do you mean to say that we have an option for a Secure Erase using CC along with the normal erase? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
