Many businesses sell or give away their old computers without realising that the hard drives probably contain confidential information about their business.

Most people don’t know that deleting the data, or even formatting the hard disk does NOT remove this data from the disk. It is easy to recover.

I suggest that you either sell the computer without the hard disk, or use a special program to totally “shred” the files contained on the hard disk so that the contents cannot be restored. Pay a visit to www.download.com or your favorite software source, and search for programs using the search term “file deletion”

Choose a program that will overwrite the files several times and make them unrecoverable. then use it on the data contained on the computer you are about to sell.

You can either selectively choose the parts of the disk you want to delete, or delete the whole disk.

Deleting the whole disk is probably the best option if you have the system disks so that you can reinstall the operating system.
