Another way is when you delete files instead of just pressing the delete key on the keyboard or hitting the delete button in an application.... Select the file to delete then press and hold down the left shift key and press the delete key. This bypasses the recycle bin and in Outlook and Outlook express it bypasses the deleted items folder. -- M-O-O-N, that spells assimilation...Tom Cullen of Borg.

Deleting a file only unlinks the file from the file system, the data is untouched until it is overwritten (which can be years). -- null

He could be asking that and probably is. But in all fairness, he wasn't that specific. Depending on your perspective "once and for all" could mean either "I want the data overwritten" or "I don't want to have to clear the Recycle Bin occasionally." -- Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness. . .
