Every time you delete a file or a folder from your computer, the information is not actually gone, but just hidden. Using specialized recovery tools, anyone can recover your data. This can be a real problem in case you want to sell your hard disk, as the new owner may take over your personal passwords, bank accounts and other related information. This is why it's important to completely wipe the free space of a hard disk from time to time. A program which can do just that is Prevent Recovery.

This simple Windows program with an intuitive name allows you to easily wipe the free space of any hard disk, using a step by step wizard. A wizard is also present during the installation of the application, allowing anyone to install the program. After running it, the user will be presented with a simple step by step wizard, which will guide him through the process of wiping free space.

First of all, one should select the partition that he wants to wipe. Prevent Recovery supports any kind of partition and virtually any type of hard disk, no matter its size. After completing this step, the user will need to select the wiping method, which can be either standard or complete. The second method is more secure, but requires more time to complete. The next step of the wizard features several extra options, like clearing the Windows memory paging at shut down, which can improve overall system performance.

Having all these steps completed, it's time for the program to do its job and wipe the free space from the selected partition. The process will not take long to complete and in the end, the deleted information from the hard disk will be impossible to recover, no matter what tool will be used for this purpose.

Pros

It allows you to easily wipe the free space from any hard disk, no matter its size or type. Besides that, the program features a simple step by step wizard. What's more, the program can automatically clear memory paging when Windows is shutting down.

Cons

The demo version includes some limitations. Prevent Recovery allows you to wipe the free space of any hard disk partition, making your deleted data impossible to recover.
