WIPE - Wipe File 1.4
This utility erases one or more files and completely wipes over the
data on the disk so that the files cannot be recovered. Even if the files
are undeleted or otherwise reconstructed, all the information in them will
have been overwritten. Apart from preventing any form of data recovery,
this program works just like the ERASE or DEL commands.
USAGE:
WIPE [dirname]filenames [options]
where: dirname is a partial or fully qualified directory name
filenames is the file to be wiped, wildcards are accepted to
specify multiple files
options is any of the following:
/P pause to ask before wiping any files (default)
/P yes, go ahead and wipe without asking
EXAMPLES:
WIPE MYFILE.TXT will overwrite and erase MYFILE.TXT from the
current directory
WIPE *.TXT will overwrite and erase all .TXT files from
the current directory
WIPE \DIR1 will overwrite and erase all files in the
\DIR1 directory on the current drive
WIPE MYFILE.TXT /Y will overwrite and erase MYFILE.TXT without
asking for confirmation
Use this command with caution, as there is no way to get back any data from
files that have been WIPEd. The program will always ask for confirmation
before wiping any files to make sure no mistake has been made.
Run WIPE with no parameters or "?" or "/?" to display simple help and
registration information.
