Secure Deletion of Trashcan contents
Last modified: 2008-02-17 01:30:06 UTC
Originally reported in Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/bugs/162418 ----- As I understand it, when you empty the trashbin the files get removed but not actually really deleted, its still possible to recover them using software. Add functionality in the trashbin for secure deletion / secure removal / file shredding / data wiping. So that I can confidently remove sensitive business data files, porno, cryptographic keys and my plans to take over the world. -----
