You
just replaced your old computer with a new one. Or maybe you replaced
only the old hard drive with a bigger one.
If you don't worry about the data on your old hard drive you are
fine.
But what to do if you have sensitive information on it? We have the
answer. Securely wipe your hard drive of file traces before you get
rid of it with us.
When you hit the Delete button on your keyboard your data is not
removed from your hard drive, it's only removed from showing in your
folder tree. It's similar with removing a label from a folder. The
data it's still there but it's taking a little effort to find it.
And if you store on your computer financial data, product
development plans, personal data, sales contact information, client
information, emails, marketing plans, trade secrets, etc., consider
what could happen if your hard drive will get in the hands of some
unknown users.
Complete disaster.
This is way you need to make sure that all your data are
practically erased from your old hard drive.
