Many operating systems do not provide users with sufficient data destruction 
tools, so deleted files can be restored easily by simple applications. Even a 
complete disk reformat can’t guarantee permanent confidential data destruction. 

Acronis Drive Cleanser solves this problem with guaranteed and permanent data 
destruction on selected hard disks and/or partitions. It allows you to select from 
a number of data destruction methods depending on the importance of your 
confidential information. 

Acronis Drive Cleanser allows you to perform the following: 
ƒ  clean up selected hard disks or partitions using preset methods 
ƒ  create and execute custom user methods of hard disk clean-up. 

Acronis Drive Cleanser is based on a wizard that scripts all hard disk operations, 
so no data destruction is performed until you execute the complete script. At any 
stage, you can return to the previous stages to select other disks or partitions or 
data destruction methods. 

First, you must select the hard disk partitions where you want to destroy data. 

 

To select a partition, click the corresponding rectangle. You will see a red mark 
in the upper right corner indicating the partition is selected.
