Disk Doctors Data Sanitizer work not only by unlinking a file but also specifically overwriting them with garbage data. For very high security installations, overwiting the file several times is advised. Many government institutions have specific disk wiping standards for file deletion. Particularly, the U.S. DoD specification 5220.22 standard says a file must be overwritten three times.
Disk Wiping Overview
Disk wiping is beneficial for privacy, because files are not completely deleted using operating system's default delete function. In most of the file systems, delete function consists of marking the space occupied by the file as free and updating file system allocation structures, leaving actual file contents intact on the storage media.
If there is continous read and write operations on the drive after deletion, eventually this space will be assigned to other files and would be overwritten. However, if the there hasn't been much of read and write operations since the file was deleted, data recovery software or disk forensic tools have a good chances of retrieving deleted data in chunks or in whole by accessing the disk drive.
So normal 'delete' command or deleting data from the recycle - bin is not a safe method for data removal.
To securely erase we need to follow certain patterns or standards for disk sanitization, the patterns used for overwriting are mentioned below and are available to effectively remove magnetic remnants from the hard drive.
Disk Doctors Data Sanitizer, a Data Eraser Utility is designed to do the same job. Data Eraser eliminates data file(s) in different directories with a stroke of a key shredding sensitive data beyond recovery.
Data Eraser offers 9 sanitization standards for disk wiping, and they are:
* Fast Zero Overwrite
* Random Overwrite
* US Navy, NAVSO P-5239-26 – RLL
* US Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M)
* DOD Standard 5220.28 STD
* North Atlantic Treaty Organization - NATO standard

Windows operating system does not delete a file permanently when a file is deleted using shift+del key combination or files from emptied recycle bin of Windows. The allocation area or the index of the file system (FAT or NTFS) marks the area used by the deleted file as empty.
The actual raw contents of the files are always present even if the file has been deleted and waits overwriting by the operating system. Deleted file, which is not overwritten, can be recovered.
The question arises “how we can delete a file beyond recovery also remove a deleted file permanently from the hard drive when Windows is not deleting the files permanently?”
Disk Doctors File Shredder helps you to shred files and folders from your Windows drive, it shreds the deleted data leaving no traces of sensitive critical data.
Selling or disposing off a PC creates a serious threat. The hard drives, which are given along with the PC, are mostly formatted with a view that they can be used further without any one knowing what it was used for. Unfortunately, almost all sensitive data can be recovered using specialized recovery labs or software, shredding the sensitive data consisting of files and folders and mostly deleted can remove all traces of sensitive data, without making drive useless, the shredded drive remains working.
File Shredder is an advanced file shredding application, which allows various easy to options to shred files, folders, and unused space from a logical drive.
The software presents a hierarchical explorer view to select file and folders to shred, to shred files simply add the files to “shredding zone” and select the shredding patterns and the software would start destructing the data beyond recovery.
Shredding patterns offered by Disk Doctors File Shredder exceeds the standards of DOD US and offers 9 Shredding standards.
