Currently using Eraser 5.7. After using Eraser my used space on the hard drive increases by about 1.5 GB. Following the Eraser FAQs I can eliminate the extra hard drive space used by clearing all my Restore Points.
I am assuming that the Temp file(~erafswd.temp) created by Eraser is not being deleted and somehow ends up in a System Restore point.
I have two questions:
1) By deleting all the Restore points doesn't the ~erafswd.temp file get dumped back on the free space on the hard drive thereby putting a lot of the data the user wanted erased back on the hard drive???
2) What would happen to the ~erafswd.temp file if Eraser did not successfully delete it on completion of the Eraser operation if System Restore was turned off before running Erase??
