[QUOTE="BoraMurdar, post: 666423, member: 2291"] Guys please calm down before something more serious happens. About data deletion : [LIST] [*]You can never be too paranoid [*]It's not healthy to be too paranoid (contrast to above mentioned) [*]In real world scenario Windows will trim (now or later, manually or automatically), thus reclaiming free space. Method is sufficient, except if some pro file re-creator or forensic tries to find out what you were deleting ([SIZE=2]you are not important enough[/SIZE]) [*]If you are important enough, or you think you are important enough, use manufacturer's utility for Secure Erase. There are some fancy names for those utilities but all of them works the same, resetting all NAND locations to an erased state, depending on SSD's controller. This will not do unnecessary writes to the drive. It will, but insignificantly. [*]SSDs will work, in most cases, much longer than you expect, or mathematically calculate, so filling drives with zero's once in a while will not be expensive as much as your energy spent on being too paranoid.
