Delete files permanantly

I have a computer which i am selling to a fren.It has many useful stuff in d drive so cannot full format d: drive
but it has some of my secret php application documents and porn movies with porn names

i want to permanently files so i use a software called file shredder

it deleted the file and now i was not able to recover file
but when i tested with pc inspector 5.x it still shows the file name with porn words (though it is corrupted on recovery) in recovery panel

i know him and he also uses recovery file tools ,so may be i guess he will try to have a go once....

i dont want to get embrassed with porn files name...so

so is there any way i can delete files even from there....

or any other ways?

hoping for help

 

Format your hard drive and reinstall windows should about do it.

 

Use some file shredding software.. They will make sure not even a single trace of your remain on your pc..
Google it to find some shredding softwares..
I use Tune Up utilities..

 

I'd say the same thing

 

Dont keep on formatting and cleaning file with softwares, then the life of hard drive will reduce

 

i think people didnt read my post throughly

Why i cannot format whole drive?
Because in around 20gb of data around 18gb are useful like songs,software backup etc.So,i dont have problem giving that and removing it to removable device and again bringing back will take lot of time.

plus i dont think formatting is a wise solution.As,unless completely overwritten on track, modern recovery softwares able to bring some traces even after formatting but i cannot do that for now bcoz of reason mentioned above.

Another suggested solution...use shredder

Yes i did,that i have mentioned.but it made files impossible to recovered as when files are recovered it is corrupted and are not open but my problem is even shredded software like pc inspector clearly shows in recovery CONSOLE WHICH FILES WERE IN WHICH PART WITH WHICH NAME EARLIER.....(name is problem here)....
so as i have already deleted file...i dont have option what to do now....

may be overwriting is one solution but i did tried but seems likes rather than overwriting files were written to free space as i still can see the filename traces....

any help?

 

well thanks
actually i didnt went through the post in detail as i though "eraser" may be some software like shredder which just deletes things....
so as i had already deleted file ,i thought it is not useful for me...
but seems like in fact it is not....
so i will give a try
thanks

 

If you're both guys then why be embarrassed? Don't all men have porn on their computer?

 

well he can be student,teacher,boss,relatives.....and seeing it live can be embarrassing sometime....

 

I'd say the only guaranteed way is to completely wipe the drive with multiple overwrites. I would recommend a program such as Active@ Kill Disk. I have used it and it is an excellent piece of software.
