Wipe the Recycle bin with Eraser

[i9i]

My goal is to wipe the Recycle Bin in Windows 7 so that files are really gone.

Software called Eraser claims it is able to do this. I have tried other software, but been told that I do not have permission.

Does anyone have experience with Eraser or other software that could wipe the Recycle Bin? Is Eraser safe to download from the maker?

Thank you.

i use eraser and it works easily and quickly depending on what settings you use.

it will swipe the recycle bin or a file before it gets there. i don't remember if there was any bundled software but i don't think their was.

i find it a simple and effective tool to wipe files i want gone.

Is there anything wrong with right click, and "Empty Recycle Bin" ?

that method still leaves the file in it's place for later recovery. eraser will wipe the file using the old "write over it 1,000,000 times so it can't ever be recovered" method.

True, but I'm just wondering about the 'need' here.

that part is not my business why he wants to wipe data. 😉
