Data Wiper Description

To understand why this permanent deleting program has been created , it's necessary to understand how your operating system (OS) deletes files. For example, let's assume that you send a file to Recycle Bin. As you may have discovered, you can easily find that selecting Restore from the pop-up menu in recycle bin, you can undelete the file. But what if you already right-clicked the Recycle Bin icon and clicked Empty Recycle Bin? Your trashed files are gone, aren't they? No. When you delete a file and empty the recycle bin, the entire file hasn't been deleted, just the most important piece of it (from the viewpoint of Windows Explorer, at least). This emptying process "deletes" the file by overwriting the first character or characters in the file name. This way, when users or programs request a file, the OS searches from address to address in the file allocation table (FAT) to find where a file's clusters are stored on disk. It then goes to the disk to collect each cluster of information. If the reference to the file isn't there, FAT cannot retrieve it.
