Reply: (edit)I've used R-Studio 2 Network Edition, and still all the files remain and can be recovered... I'll need a program that puts a 0 in every byte of my free disk space... I have tried a few, but they seem to crash windows and hang the PC about 25% mark Thanks for the files,,, i'll have a use for them :-))

Reply: (edit)If you have it, it will be under the advanced button on the properties of the file. -- or look to see that the file actually is x Mb big. if you have compression it will say something like File Size = 10 Mb
Size on disk = 1 Mb

Reply: (edit)To answer one of your earlier statement the program does dump 0's in evey byte. The only other thing I can think of it to run the program with random bytes instead of just 0's. I could change it to where it would write a particular character, then re-run and do another character. The way most wipe programs work is to write 0's then re-run and write 1's,re-run and write random numbers , ..., after about 7 of these the program is over. So if you have any question about the code just ask. Jason

Reply: (edit)ok, this one will run the pass a given number of times with a random character. http://24.88.30.31/waste.zip This will be my last try. I know that hte file is being created. But I have nothing to test it on (I'm not going to let it fill by 50GB that I have left, just to test). Good luck deleting.

Reply: (edit)Ian: If your trying to wipe all the empty disk
space and all deleted file space so that
no one can check the contents, I have on
more place that you have to check. The slack
space in the last cluster of a file. This
is the unused space in a cluster after a
file is written. Have fun.

Reply: (edit)I am only after something that will delete anything left in the free disk space, I am not wiping a hard drive, only clean the free space now and again.
I have tried filling the space then deleting it, but all the files seem to remain intact.

Reply: (edit)Filling the free space does nothing for
the files in the recycle bin. Until you
empty the recycle bin those files still
take up their original space. If the space
was freed when you deleted a file, then you
could not recover them. Seems like a lot of
work for nothing. Also the OS has its own
method of allocating space for new files.
Usually the space of the most recently
deleted files is not the space used for new
files. If you reboot then it appears the OS
uses the first empty space.
