Hard Drive Cleaning

Sup /tech/

So, what do you guys use to remove history from your computer. I am getting a new computer, and I have files on this I want to completely get rid of. I deleted them with recycle bin, but I know that still leaves traces. What kind of software should I use to get rid of deleted stuff for good?

You continue to demonstrate your dumbfuckery with every post. Eraser has five default modes: two simple single-pass ones, two levels of compliance with a relevant DoD specification, and the Gutmann thing, which is 35 passes and actually not as good as it sounds, since a lot of the patterns (which are not random) are designed for specific types of drive and are all included only in the case that the user doesn't know what kind of hardware he's using.

By the way, how do you write with 'random 1s'? 1111111?

See, that's DANGEROUS. Just use Eraser; you can actually control it and have the benefit of all your device drivers.
