1. Thoroughly clear the remaining data information of the remaining space on the disk.

2. Help users to completely clear a specified file or folder.

As shown on the right, the user selects the remaining space or file folder of the disk (either one or all of them) to be erased according to his needs.

After selecting the operation object, you can specify the erasing method. (Just look at the number of replications directly, 1-35 times, 35 times the highest security, but the time it takes to erase will be relatively long.) Ordinary users can choose to let the program automatically erase for you.

Through data replication (ranging from 1 to 35 times, the greater the number of times, the lower the possibility of recovery, the longer the time required) to completely destroy the deleted data on the disk. Because under normal circumstances, the data deleted by the user through Delete, empty the recycle bin or Shift + Delete is actually still on the disk, only the mark is modified and allowed to be overwritten by new data. In this way, most of the data recovery software on the market can recover some or even all of the deleted data. In this way, some of your privacy files or data with high confidentiality requirements may be used by others, leading to missed business opportunities and reenacting the "Yanzhaomen" Wait.

1. The disk trace remover will not delete any existing data of the user, but only helps to completely remove the traces of use on the free space on the disk.

2. During the erasing process, you need to write data to the remaining space on the disk and generate temporary files, so you will see that the free space on the disk is decreasing. Don't be alarmed at this time, and the space will be automatically released after the erasure.

3. The erasing time is related to the size of the disk or file to be erased, the erasing method selected, and the hardware configuration of the user's computer. In addition, the disk will be rewritten at high speed when erasing. At this time, the computer will be very stuck. It is recommended that you wait until the erasure is complete before using.

4. Some users are worried that the erasure will cause damage to the disk. In fact, here we must explain that the disk trace eraser is only copying the free space on the hard disk , and reading and writing data is just the basic function of the disk.
