Let's assume that I "erased" some file named important.txt. This file is still exists on the hard drive (invisible attribute changed to true), so what I am trying to do is find the important.txt that I just "erased" (like with the Recuva program), and then to replace its bytes with random bytes (i.e. delete important.txt permanently) So I am Looking for software Like Recuva, but not For recovering, or maybe software that replaces the bytes of any deleted file that still exists.

I Just want to wipe "deleted files" permanently. Is there any software that can do that for me?

    It would have been easier if you hadn't already deleted them: askubuntu.com/questions/57572/…, Also check out BleachBit: apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/bleachbit

  • Bleachbit "wipes free disk space (to hide previously deleted files for privacy and to improve compression of images)" according to the description, so that might be useful.
