Shredding or bleaching files

File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools deletes files by overwriting them with meaningless data. This process,
referred to as "shredding," greatly enhances information security by making the deleted files very difficult
to recover. File Sanitizer further enhances information security by overwriting previously used space on
the hard drive using a process referred to as "bleaching." Files deleted using File Sanitizer cannot be
recovered by the Operating System or other commonly available file recovery software.
