I love gaming and I love websurfing.
Heckl I love trolling on occasion.
But, I had read somewhere that even though a file is removed (I understood removed to mean just that "removed") that even though you couldnt see it, it still stayed on your harddrive.
So thats why I felt even though you reformat a HD it would still leave a "fingerprint" that could be read
Maybe I have read too many Oliver Stone movie reviews..
Ok
I do appreciate all the help

Unless you had your CIA files on that pc, I imagine it's ok.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Re: Re: Re: What is best program to clean unwanted files from your PC Hard Drive?
if you want to make sure you should probably reformat and reinstall,as per 6 or 7 posts before this oneOriginally posted by Grandpa Troll
But I am giving a pc to a few folks from older pc's I have.
I just dont want to give them a pc if any inappropriate images or content are on it.
Thanks for all the answers thus far
