My friend is selling his hard disk and he wants to delete everything on it.


Which software can delete data, which can't be recoverable ?

i think any wiping software can do it. just you need to select more passes so that more times random data is written on the HDD making the old data unrecoverable.

Tuneup utilities have a built in shredder. try it.
