Freespace is the unallocated space in the partition. For example Drive C is really a partion named C and in there the unallocated space is the 'freespace' eraser will try to wipe. These days most laptops have 2+ partitions on the physical disk to store the OS and recovery data. Access to the...

That looks like a paid for application. Do you have any more details e.g. error messages etc?

With well over a million downloads of the nightly builds since V6 it was time to push out that version and start building on it. Eraser is a volunteer effort so its down to time availability when things get done. With regards to XP - It might be a runtime issue - will have to get an XP...

If the drive is empty perhaps format the drive and try again it could be there is an issue with the disk structure i.e it has been altered making it unreadable to eraser.

This version has been available for over two years as a nightly build. We have bumped the version number and made it the official release.

We have just released an updated version which solves the download issue in Chrome. see eraser.heidi.ie/download.php Any download should have a vlaid digital signature - you can check this by right clicking on the file.

Not with eraser. With your phone it is not possible to guarantee successful erase. If its just to clean up the phone there are several products available.

The latest beta works on windows 8.1 http://eraser.heidi.ie/download.php?id=296 The comments on CNET refer to the countless adware versions of eraser which have cropped up and are beyond our control - Always download the product from sourceforge and make sure it is digitally signed.

To wipe the free space correctly you need the drive to be in a steady state otherwise you could destroy your database server if it filled the disk at the same moment the database is trying to do a commit of transactions. If you are trying to wipe documents it might be better to create a...

This means the erasing did not complete. Rerun it with a one pass erase and see if it completes or look for the eraser temp directory in the root of the drive and erase that.

Re: Eraser has stopped working. Try installing a version I just recompiled today: http://eraser.heidi.ie/download.php?id=293 and let me know if anything has improved or disimproved :)

This sounds like Outlook express is running on your machine and just recreating them everytime it starts up. Have you checked if outlook is running?
