If you think that deleting or even reformatting your computer’s hard drive or other digital media will permanently erase the information of files stored on them, you are completely wrong. When you delete a file, either purposefully or accidentally, all that occurs is that the Windows operating system marks the space that file occupied as available to be overwritten. Unless and until new information is written over that data, the file information can be recovered using basic data recovery software. This means that anyone with access to your computer can read and copy all of your private information. This same situation occurs when one reformats a drive. Reformatting merely marks all available space as empty. But, as with file deletion, until you overwrite the data’s sectors on that drive, the information can be recovered. This is fine when one wants to recover lost files, but when we are trying to permanently remove information from our computer’s hard drive, we need a more powerful solution. That solution is the Remo data eraser.

The Remo data eraser allows you to easily choose either individual files or to wipe data from hard drive storage in it’s entirety and permanently erase all of the information you need to discard. This is done by overwriting the stored information in a random pattern many times over. This is essentially the same as tearing up a piece of paper with records on it into millions of tiny pieces and tossing those pieces into the wind.
