Data wiping
Just deleting your files from recycle been is not the solution! Not everything that disappears is lost forever!
If you are serious about erasing and wiping off your data:
Our data deletion & elimination service meets and exceeds current standards for the permanent erasure of digital information (U.S. DOD 5220.22) and uses techniques that stop both software and hardware recovery tools from restoring the erased data.
Unerase software, forensic software or any kind of software will not be able to recover data that we have deleted. We can remove all traces of files and data from a hard disk, and also the telltale traces or footprints that the data once existed on the drive.
