Hello,
I apologize if there is a previous post regarding this matter already. I did a search or two about this but could not find any relevant information.
Anyhow, I was running a "Wipe Free Space" operation using the "Pseudorandom Data - One pass". It was nearly completed, with the green status bar about more than 80 percent complete.
The power happened to go out -- we had bad weather -- and upon restarting the computer, I had noticed that:
a) the operation had been canceled;
b) more than 600 Gigs were still occupied -- due to the fact that the task was interrupted.
Now my question is: how do I rectify this? I only now have about 5 gigs left on the machine. Is it possible to get rid of these random files or continue the operation from its previous progress?
Thank you.
