Notice on Deleting Data from Your Hard Disk -------------

As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more information. The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, you need to delete that data.

Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, may even violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and conditions of those Agreements.

Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.

There are methods that seem to delete the data:

ƒMove the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin command.

ƒUse the Delete command.

ƒFormat your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.
