I ran Eraser using DoD 5220 overnight. More than 12 hours later the completion
bar stuck at around 99% done and I got constant running out of memory errors.
(I did not run any other programs.)
Eventually I closed Eraser using the Task menu.
My hard drive now reads 1.29GB free of 683 GB.
On re-starting eraser it said that it deleted my scheduled tasks
because of an interruption.
How do I get my hard drive space back?
Using Windows 7 Home Premium. 6GB RAM.
Secondarily, why does the product use up all the hard drive
space at once, slowing things to a crawl, rather than freeing
completed space and using that to speed the process? How
would it have ever completed, since it used up all the memory?
EDIT: I found a folder in the main directory thats labelled "Kp~NYx~djbQ+ux-=GL"
and is 567GB in size... Afraid to try deleting that without guidance.
