How can I make sure deleted files are permantly removed from my system and non-recoverable?

I have files that I deleted, then emptied my Recycle Bin, but I understand that these are still recoverable. They have not been sent, published or shared. How can I make sure that they are permantently deleted and not accessible from my computer. I have Windows 7 on a HP DM4 if that helps. I need simple answers because I'm a girl who is not all that computer savy. I appreciate the answers, thank you.

It all depends on how hard you want the person you are looking for the file to work.  What you did until the preserved most of other casual users to recover files.

If you take the hard drive to a data recovery company, they would probably still recover (unsecured) files.  You can use programs that write too much data time and time again - but even in this case, it might be salvageable.
Government and businesses know that the only way to ensure that the files have disappeared is to destroy the drive - by crushing or it chop into pieces with a machine to grind.

  • How can I make sure that there are no other programs running when I try to install another program?

    I keep trying to install a program, and it will not be installed.  It is said that there are other programs that run in the background.

    The best way to see what's running is press ctrl + alt + delete at the same time and open the Task Manager. Then under the applications tabs, it will show you all the programs that are running. You can click and close the program from here. If it is empty, then the problem is most likely a program process that is running. On the tabs in process, you can find the process that is running and the origin of the problem. You can click on the program here and so close. I hope this helps. If this isn't the case, you could let us know what kind of program you want to install.

  • I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?

    I have trouble deleting a project to create Clip... keep it coming back (sync).  How can I make sure that it is void of all devices and permanently?  So much space being taken up on my iPad... there at - it a why to manage what are sync'd projects and ignore others?

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry, you have trouble. Here's a suggestion:

    1. launch Premiere Clip on a device and make sure it is not open on other devices.

    2. on the device, as it is opened, remove projects that are no longer needed.

    3. allow the synchronization of the application (leave opens and is not the bottom) so that projects are marked as being deleted on the service. A circle of rotation icon appears in the lower left corner of your device while synchronization is in progress.

    4. Uninstalling the app on other devices, then re - install and login to leave remaining projects sync.

    Please let us know if this solves your problem, or if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • How can I make sure my internet cable works even if the icon is not displayed by the clock

    I see the wireless connection icon, but I used to see one for the wired connection also. So where is it?

    How can I make sure my internet cable works even if the icon is not displayed by the clock?

    Click Start > Control Panel > network and Internet > network connections.

    Click with the right button on your Local network, and select Properties. In the window properties of LAN make you that these boxes are checked.

    [] Display the icon in the Notification area when connected

    [] Notify me when this connection is limited or no connectivity.

  • How can I make sure that changes in a primary key (in the parent table) would also appear directly in the FOREIGN KEY in the child table?

    Forgive my question. I am very new to Oracle.

    How can I make sure that changes in the key primary supplier_id (concerning the supplier table) would also appear directly in the FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id) in the products table?

    Is that not all the primary key and FOREIGN KEY on?

    My paintings:

    I created 2 tables and connect to apply in the data base referential integrity, as I learned.

    CREATE TABLE - parent provider

    (the numeric (10) of supplier_id not null,)

    supplier_name varchar2 (50) not null,

    Contact_Name varchar2 (50).

    CONSTRAINT supplier_pk PRIMARY KEY (supplier_id)

    );

    CREATE TABLE - child products

    (the numeric (10) of product_id not null,)

    supplier_id numeric (10) not null,

    CONSTRAINT fk_supplier

    FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id)

    REFERENCES beg (supplier_id)

    );

    I inserted the following text:

    INSERT INTO provider

    (supplier_id, supplier_name, contact_name)

    VALUES

    (5000, 'Apple', 'first name');

    I expect that the supplier_id (5000) to the provider of the table also appears in the products table under key supplier_id having the same value which is 5000. But this does not happen.

    How to get there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    What is a foreign key in Oracle?

    A foreign key is a way to ensure referential integrity in your Oracle database. A foreign key means that the values of a table must appear also in another table.

    Ok!??

    What is now the right way to implement referential integrity in your Oracle database that the values of a table must also be included in another table?

    A foreign key referential integrity indeed enfore in ensuring that the value in the child table must have a corresponding parent key (otherwise you will encounter an error, as evidenced by "SomeoneElse"). However, it will never automatically insert a row in the other table.

    If you are looking for a solution that automatically inserts a record in the other table, maybe you should go for triggers:

  • How can I make sure that my music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

    How can I make sure that my library of music on my Ipod Classic is not lost forever, if it breaks down?

    Back it up.

    Your music library should never exist only on your iPod.  It must be present on a computer in iTunes, and to be sure it must be saved on an external drive also.

    If your library no longer exists on your computer for whatever, reason, you need to extract the iPod.

  • How can I make sure I have need of aid is a legimate technician. just been scammed by someone representing as my virus protection company

    pop up kept appearing on the lower right of the computer saying I had infections more 5 000.  He showed my company logo protection antivirus (AVG) and because the computer was slow and freezing I connected.  He registered a phone number to call for help.  I called, explained my problem and the man said: I'll connect you with a technician.  I specifically asked if he was in this country, and he said he was in Connecticut.  The reason I asked was because I am deaf it made it difficult to understand people with accents.  I really thought that I was speaking with moy.  After many hours remotely connected to my computer, my computer was worse than before that I called him shaped and $ 120.00.  I called AVG to complain and told me that I was probably being scammed and to check with my Bank and credit company to have all changed.  Of course, I took care of him.  The Bank assured me they would check on "GuruAid" and yesterday I received an email from them (GuruAid), say that there is no charge.

    I am never in a situation like this, once again.  My question is: How can I make sure I have need of aid is a legitimate technician.  Seems many companies can fool you into believing that you talk with a legitimate business.

    How can I make sure that any firewalls (versions of software or hardware) does not block port 443 to access?

    Hi Anna_753,

    Usually, you would receive messages from any program if it is impossible to access the port.

    If you want to check if the port is accessible, then you will need to check the firewall settings.

    Each firewall has its own parameters for ports of the computer.

  • How can I stop people deleting files other people created in windows 7?

    How can I stop people deleting files other people created in windows 7? I've had this settings in windows XP. a public folder where no one can delete the files that they did not create. only the creator has been able to delete the folder.

    Please notify.

    Thank you!

    You can do almost the same way in Windows 7.  Basically you right click on the folder and choose Properties.  Under Security, you can decide who can and cannot remove the folder (or even see the folder if you wish, to hide from others).

    Just be careful.  I recommend not using the "deny".  Just do not give someone the function "allow."  Denials have priority and I saw where people wrongly denied their own access to the folder, and according to the options chosen, you can't "undo" who am wrong.

    How can I recover a deleted files?

    Hi jamesc15546086,

    Have you deleted the PDF of the Document cloud or your system?

    If you deleted it out of the cloud of Document it will be possible to recover the file unless you have a backup for this on the system or elsewhere.

    Otherwise if you have deleted the file from your system, then you can recover it forms the trash (if its there in the Recycle bin).

  • How can I make sure that all components in my opinion have been instantiated to test

    I'm testing a view 'view', which has an ADG but the ADG is null.

    Try this code:

    view.adg.dataProvider = data;

    How can I make sure that all components in my opinion have been instantiated to test?

    private var view: UserManagement;
    [Front]
    public void Setup (): void
    {

    view = new UserManagement;

    }

    [Test]
    public function testSaveData (): void
    {
    var data: collection ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for (var i: int = 0; i < 1000; i ++)
    {
    var item: Object = new Object;
    element.isModifiedClientSide = Math.round (Math.random () * 1);
    data.addItem (element);

    }
    view.adg.dataProvider = data;

    }

    You have instantiated your view.  Usually, when I'm working with a view, mine looks like this

    private var myView:MyViewClass;

    [Before(async,ui)]
    

    public void Setup (): void

    {

    Bird = new MyViewClass();

    Async.proceedOnEvent (this, opinion, FlexEvent.CREATION_COMPLETE, 500);

    UIImpersonator.addChild (bird);

    }

    [After]

    public function teardown (): void

    {

    UIImpersonator.removeChild (bird);

    Bird = null;

    }
