For security purposes, overwriting a file several times is recommended. Many government institutions have specific wiping standards for file deletion. Particularly, the U.S. Department Of Defense specification 5220.22 standard says a file must be overwritten three times. For that reason, Remo offers Data Sanitizer. Data Sanitizer not only by unlinks “recycled” files but also specifically overwrites old data with garbage data.

Disk wiping is beneficial for privacy, since most delete functions don’t really delete your data. When a file or folder is selected for deletion, the operating system designates those sectors that your files reside in to be re-writeable. Using data recovery software those deleted files can be easily restored.

Even if you have saved new data to your drive or reformatted, there’s still a possibility that the partition can be rebuilt and files can be restored.

Selling or disposing off a PC creates a serious threat. If you haven’t properly erased the disk, others can reopen and rebuild your personal data.

To securely erase your disk, Data Sanitizer uses 9 different sanitization standards for disk wiping:

• Fast Zero Overwrite
• Random Overwrite
• US Navy, NAVSO P-5239-26_RLL
• US Department of Defense (DoD 5220.22-M)_DOD Standard 5220.28 STD
