Erase a hard drive to wipe data
thoroughly and recover deleted
data caused by simple deletion Most users think data will disappear thoroughly once they empty the recycle bin after
deleting data. Actually, they are wrong. Users who know something about the principle of
data storage know the commonly used deleting and formatting can not delete data from
the disk thoroughly but mark a special mark which makes the system unable to recognize
these data. Therefore, some users mistakenly think data have been wiped thoroughly. As
a matter of fact, for these kinds of deleted data, we can recover them easily as long as
they are not overwritten or damaged, and there are many recovery methods. Later, I will
introduce these methods. But before introducing them, let me introduce some methods for
deleting data thoroughly.

After knowing that deleted data can be recovered, some users may worry about the
leakage of privacy included in deleted data. Well then, how to wipe data thoroughly from
hard disk? To solve this problem, we need a technology called Erase with which we can
erase a hard drive repeatedly and wipe original data thoroughly. Then, even
high-efficiency data recovery methods can not recover these data. However, Erase was
mainly used in military institution, political institution and other important institutions before.
Fortunately, with the unceasing development of software industry, this technology has
been applied to partition management software. For example, the "Wipe" function
of MiniTool Partition Wizard is used to erase a hard drive repeatedly, ensuring the safety
of deleted data. Next, let's go back to the first topic: how to recover deleted data.
How to recover deleted data?
We have talked that data deleted with common deleting operations can be recovered.
Well, how to recover deleted data? For these users who require extremely high computer
operability or users who have a basic understanding to data storage principle, they can
recover deleted data by altering file information table when facing simple deletion. User
can get relevant information about this method from the internet. However, it is difficult
and risky for common users to adopt this method. If users operate mistakenly, deleted
data may be damaged again or other data may be lost. Therefore, this method is not
recommended to common users. Today, data recovery software is advised to recover
deleted data, but not every piece of data recovery software is recommended. As the
current software industry is not very normative, there is much inferior software on the
market. If we use inferior data recovery software carelessly, more serious data loss may
happen, bringing greater losses. Therefore, users should pay much attention to safety
when selecting data recovery software. Furthermore, utility is a key factor we should care
about. I believe nobody is willing to download a piece of useless data recovery software
with costing a large amount of time. Considering these aspects, I strongly
recommend MiniTool Power Data Recovery.
