Even a full format will not rid your computer of information. The only way to
get rid of it totally is to use a programme that writes x over every binary
digit. Info can even be reclaimed from a smashed hd. The FBI drill a hole in
the case and pump the hd full of glue so that the info cannot be recovered . .
It does take specialist equipment to get the info off a hd though, so, unless
you are a drugs baron or such, then you should be ok just deleting the email.

to the average user they are gone and can't be recovered, but there are
utilities that can be used by specialists that can recover the deleted
messages. The police for example can sometimes recover messages from
computers that the user thought they'd deleted for good.
there are tools/utilities that will shred or completely remove data from a
disk but other than knowing they exist, I know very little else about them,
or whether they are full proof or not.
the only way I would feel sure that the data is gone and can't be recovered
would be after a disk reformat, a full reformat, not a quick reformat.

hi list, does my deleted email remain on my hard drive after I have cleared
my deleted email box? and after I have performed a disk clean?
if the answer is yes, how do I locate and remove these hidden files?
