How to Secure Erase files?
This is an online guide for secure erasing files in nokVAULT. If you wish, you can download the PDF User Guide, which includes a copy of these procedures.
Secure erase is a tool that allows you to completely delete a file from the file system and to permanently delete a file or folder from the computer without a trace.
Typically when you delete a file via an operating system like Windows, the file will appear to be gone, but actually the files still reside on your computer hardware. This makes deleted files accessible by anyone who knows how to retrieve them.
nokVAULT solves this problem with Secure Erase. Instead of just removing the deleted file name from Explorers list of files, nokVAULT Secure Erase, first overwrites the entire file with "noise" and then deletes the name. Therefore, if an undelete program is used to restore the file nothing will appear within the file contents.
nokVAULT must be in open mode in order to securely erase a file.
1) Right-click on any file you wish to securely erase
2) Select "Secure Erase" from the nokVAULT sub-menu
3) Click "Yes" to permanently erase the selected file
nokVAULT Secure Erase deletes the file from the operating system and any linked traces to that file, guaranteeing that your files are completely destroyed and unrecoverable by anyone or any utility.
