If your hard disk or other storage media contains sensitive data, you 
should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove 
data from the media. These standard deletion procedures include:

❖

Selecting Delete for a target file

❖

Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin

❖

Reformatting the media

❖

Reinstalling an operating system

The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for 
file management. This makes the file invisible to the operating 
system, but the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you 
dispose of the hard drive, first delete all the data on it using one of 
the methods listed below. Doing so prevents unauthorized use of 
such data. To ensure your data is not used for unauthorized 
purposes, you can:

❖

Physically destroy the hard disk drive

❖

Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data

❖

Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service

All data deletion costs will be borne by you.
