Steven has this right. Some other programs along the
same lines you can find via Google.com searches:
(Info here from ZDNet)
Sure Delete is a freebie that removes all traces of
deleted files from your hard disk. You can even erase
entire subdirectory trees in a single operation.
(Free/Win95-98-NT)
Mutilate File Wiper completely destroys files by
overwriting them with ones, zeros, and random bit
patterns so they can never be recovered. You choose from
three different levels of file destruction.
(Shareware/Win95-98-NT)
NecroFile lets you permanently destroy individual files
or entire directories on command. It also clears your
hard drive of previously deleted information, leaving
more space for the programs and files you want.
