Chapter 6. Acronis Drive Cleanser
6.1
Acronis Drive Cleanser capabilities
Many operating systems do not provide users with enough data destruction
tools, so deleted files can be restored easily by simple applications. Even
complete disk reformatting can't guarantee permanent confidential data
destruction.
Acronis Drive Cleanser solves this problem with guaranteed and permanent data
destruction on selected hard disks and/or partitions. It allows you to select from
a number of data destruction methods depending on importance of your
confidential information.
6.2
Working with Acronis Drive Cleanser
Acronis Drive Cleanser allows to perform the following:
•
clean up selected hard disks or partitions using preset methods
•
create and execute custom user methods of hard disk clean-up.
Acronis Drive Cleanser is based on a wizard that scripts all hard disk operations,
so no data destruction is performed until you execute the complete script. At any
stage, you can return to the previous stages to select other disks or partitions or
data destruction methods.
First, you must select the hard disk partitions where you want to destroy data.
The list of PC hard disks with partitions
To select a partition, click the corresponding rectangle. You will see a red mark
in the upper right corner indicating the partition is selected.
You can select an entire hard disk or several disks for data destruction. To do
this, click the rectangle corresponding to the hard disk (with a device icon, disk
number and capacity.)
