Eraser Forum
Hello. I used Eraser to delete some files off an external hard drive. I used these settings.
British HMG IS5 (Enhanced) (3 passes)
Pseudorandom Data (1 pass)
When I deleted the files on the hard drive I right clicked on the file and used Eraser instead of using Eraser on the entire external hard drive. After that I did a quick format on the external hard drive. I just want to delete those specific files to prevent recovery tools from getting it. I want to know would this be enough for those specific files to be securely deleted. I don't want to use Eraser on the enitre hard drive as it would take far too long considering how big the external hard drive is.
Thank you.
