it says it's faster... does it permantly delete files? or are they just easier to recover?
also, what's wipe free space... is this nessasary to completly delete files?
Full Version: what exactly does a simple wipe do?
The wipe modes are discussed here.
A single 1-pass "simple wipe" should make the files non-recoverable in a general sense. However with stuff being located in the MFT (which can't be touched) not everything can be successfully wiped out when for instance using wipe free space.
