Erase Hard Drive 10.6 802

As time goes by, your computer may work slower and slower or become out of date. If you want to recycle your old PC or give it away, there is an important thing to do beforehand - data erasure. Otherwise, your private data will be exposed to others. How to erase your personal data securely?

The most direct way is to delete personal files and then empty Recycle Bin. However, your deleted files can often be recovered with data recovery software. You can also reset Windows with the “Reset this PC” feature in Windows 10. This feature indeed makes it harder for someone to recover your removed files, but it is still not enough.

If you want a stronger and more secure method of data erasure, you need a bootable drive wiper. A bootable drive wiper will overwrite your data on the hard drive and prevent all software-based file recovery methods from recovering deleted files.
