thc-secure-delete ( anybody installed it ? )

[R.L. Reingard]

Hi Lee,

sorry to all for confusion. i am a native german speaking person. so i  
used a wrong term. of course 'erase' is much better.
i know the program WIPE, but as far as i understand from the help, you  
cannot delete the free space on a harddisk. or how would you do it with  
WIPE, Lee?

regarding creating such a huge file (like 5GB): how would you do that, if  
you tell it can be simply done? if i could do so, i would know myself how  
to erase that huge file with WIPE.

thank you so much for help,
regards,
René
