Re: Securely deleting *Windows* files (was Re: simple way to securely destroy deleted files in a file system)

PS. and I personally would:

- either write a program that scans the partition for known fragments
of the files you want to be gone (perl with Sys::Mmap is an efficient
choice) to verify;
- or backup all good files from the partition, then overwriting the
block device, recreate the partition and copy the files back. You just
have to double check whether no Windows metadata is lost this way, I
don't know.
