The makers of EE have no idea what applications you are using, what the data is that you want to permanently delete, and does not even do a good job of eliminating the most common things many people are concerned about like what 'porn' sites you visit - lol - as indicated above, EE does not clean the NTUSER.DAT file. If you are trying to wipe sensitive information, you should know your OS and your applications and know where your computer stores the information. I personally do alot of online banking and financial transactions, and I dont want some script kiddy getting access to my HD and being able to recover anything. Any judge who would find fault with that would be an idiot. Cleaning your HD should be standard practice for anyone who does any online financial transactions via bank or CC. (I use fat32 personally).Įven Eraser leaves the 'ghost file names' unless you wipe the cluster tips and free space *from* a seperate bootable partition or drive, in which case, it would be very hard, impossible even, for even a forensic expert to tell how many files were deleted or of any were deleted. I don't trust the way EE handles the MFT either. Someone posted earlier how to clean the NTUSER.DAT file here in this forum. Someone posted an article in the previous topic showing how a forensic expert was able to determine how many files had been deleted, this is just one problem with EE.Īnother is the fact that records of deleted file names are kept in the NTUSER.DAT file and EE doesn't touch these. Do not trust EE! All it does is lul you into a false sense of security.
