|
|
Hi there
I'm looking for a program that can delete the whole content of Recycle Bin in Windows7. The standard options of Recycle Bin do not work so well - I just used Recuva and it found my "deleted" files.
Any directions where to find some really good cleaner? (CCleaner does not work to me as for Recycle Bin).
Really appreciate the help.

It will still be recoverable. When you move a file to the recycle bin it only holds a pointer that points to the original file. The actual file is still there. If you delete the recycle bin the file will still be there, just not seen by the operating system. In order to completely remove the file you will need to wipe the sectors that contain the file. There are a few programs that claim to do this but I wouldn't put my reputation on that.
Also, as a computer forensics examiner, there are other ways to find artifacts that can show a users activity. An average computer user will usually not have the ability to find this stuff though.
A few of the 'wiping. programs are Eraser and Killdisk.

You can delete
Recycle Bin manually
ctrl+shift+del to delete unwanted and temp files auto installed from internet
you can also use disk cleanup utility of hard disk

You can delete content directly by using keyboard which content you want to delete just click there and press both shift+delete button together. it will delete conten directly without using recyclebin.

That does bypass the recycle bin but the files are still recoverable from a forensics perspective.

Download some really good cleaner as Mil shield http://www.milincorporated.com/milshield2.html for example.
It not only can delete the Recycle bin and files but it also shreds (this is a secure deleting) all insecurely erased files.
