The Wipe free space of a drive wizard wipes the free space, erasing any remnants of deleted files. Only the free disk space is cleaned; existing files and the operating system are left intact.
The Create DriveScrubber boot disk wizard creates a bootable disk that you can then use to wipe any type of drive, including the system drive that contains the operating system. Every sector will be overwritten, leaving a "like new" drive with no data.
The Desktop File Incinerator allows you to enable the Incinerator that can securely delete selected files and folders.
