How do I delete files permanetly if i've already deleted them in my recycle bin? I moved the folder that had all the files into the recycle bin, and then emypted the recycle bin. So how do I use eraser to permanetly get rid of thoose files from my hard-drive?

You'll need to run a free space erase on the affected disks. See the FAQ especially on the "Getting to know Eraser" thread.

Oh ok thanks. So I right clicked on my recycle bin and it wont let me click eraser on it, so im assuming it delted the files in there already, and I tried to erase the free space on my c drive but I can't because it says it's not allowed to.

Please use the link in my signature to go to the FAQ, and read the post on Getting to know Eraser 6. There's a section there on running Eraser as Administrator. Do that, and the chances are that you will be able to erase the free space on your drive, which is what you need to do.
