5.1.13 Wiping unallocated hard disk space
PC hard disks can contain a substantial amount of confidential information. Often users
forget that private information must be completely destroyed to avoid unauthorized
access to it — simply deleting an old file is not sufficient.
Windows tools do not guarantee data destruction. Deleted files can be restored easily.
Formatting and even deleting a partition leaves hard disk sector contents the same.
Acronis Disk Director Server offers a simple but reliable algorithm for wiping hard disk
unallocated space.
If you need to wipe unallocated disk space:
1. Select a hard disk and unallocated space in the Acronis Disk Director Server main
window — Wipe unallocated space becomes available on the toolbar.
