Shredding or bleaching files

File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools deletes files by overwriting them with meaningless data. This process, referred to as “shredding,” greatly enhances information security by making the deleted files very difficult to recover. File Sanitizer further enhances information security by overwriting previously used space on the hard drive using a process referred to as “bleaching.” Files deleted using File Sanitizer cannot be recovered by the Operating System or other commonly available file recovery software.

For more information on using File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools, refer to File Sanitizer for HP ProtectTools on page 43.
