Asked By Olivia Talley 10 points N/A Posted on - 04/02/2013

I'm trying to sell my old desktop that has an AMD Sempron processor, 2 GB RAM, 500 GB HDD, 1GB GeForce Video Card and Windows XP 64 bit.  Can someone suggest a military grade deletion software that can make data unrecoverable?  Thanks in advance.

Hello,

BCWipe is a data wiping software that will enable you to permanently delete filed and will never be recovered. BCWipe embeds itself within windows and can be activated from the Explorer File menu.New features for BCWipe V.6 include support for windows 8, new wiping standards have been added and it avoids low disk space situation. To download BCWipe visit: http://download.cnet.com/BCWipe/3000-2248_4-10009333.html All the best.

Thank you.

Greetings! There is much software that can securely delete files and make them unrecoverable. Please take note that when deleting a file via the Recycle Bin, the system simply puts the file/s in an allocated space and is only deleted permanently when more files are deleted in the computer. You can use TuneUp Utilities. Not only does it securely wipe deleted files from the system but it also has many other features that will boost your PC's performance. Hope that helps!
