Erase not empty Recycle bin

When you drop files etc. into the re‐cycle Bin and then empty the bin you have not physically destroyed that information all that windows has done is alter the flag/symbol at the front of the file, and this enables the data to be overridden when you write new information and store/save it to disc.

So yes you are correct in assuming the information is still there and can be easily recovered if you know how to.

Now the answer is that if you want to delete that information permanently you need a program that operates similar to the paper shredder by your desk

( And if you do not have one of those go out now and buy one. People are paid to go through Rubbish dumps to acquire your details Address Name, Credit Card no. etc. Do it now )

To return to the computer shredder there are ones which you can purchase similar to the one which comes with the Tuneup program.

However as with most things there is a free one which you can download from :- []
