- SDelete V1.0
- The Documentation
- 29/2/1996
-
-
- Explanation:
-
- Greetings,
- This is another util for those people with serious paranoid
- fixations. The idea goes like this:- You've got a very sensitive file or
- files and you delete them from you drive, along comes Mr. X and undeletes
- them using DiskSalv, OH DEAR now there are a few ways of avoiding this
- scenario, 1. Don't store dodgy data on your machine. 2. Don't let Mr.X near
- it. 3. Overwrite your data. 4.Reorganise your drive after deleting the
- files. 5. Use SDELETE (short for SecureDelete).
-
- What SDelete does is prior to deleting a file it overwites the contents
- with "BADDATA-" after doing this it deletes the file. This means once a
- file has been deleted using SDelete even if you undelete a deleted file the
- data within it will have been destroyed.
-
- BUGS
-
- Currently acts strange if a file that has a WRITE lock on it is
- encountered, does not cause any real problems it just keeps trying to
- delete it every other go.
-
- Usage:
-
- This CLI prgram functions almost exactly the same way as Delete.
-
- Command line parameters:
- FILE/M/A,ALL/S,QUIET/S,FORCE/S,BUF=BUFFER/K/N:
-
- FILE: File(s)/Dir(s) to delete, wildcards are handled.
- ALL: Recurse into sub-dirs.
- QUIET: No output to stdout
- FORCE: Unprotect file if protection bit set.
- BUFFER: Size of buffer for overwrite data (default 4096 Bytes). If you are
- deleting large files this will speed up the process if you make it
- bigger.
