It supports 17 global erasure standards, including DoD 5200.22-M, US Army AR 380-19, and NATO, among others. You can easily download the software from the company\u2019s official website and install it on the system to start the data wiping process.<\/p>\n

In this post, we\u2019ll be discussing the process to erase files and folders from computers by using BitRaser File Eraser<\/a>. But before that, let\u2019s look into some scenarios when you need data wiping.<\/p>\n

Why Do You Need to Wipe Data?<\/h2>\n

Most people think that simply deleting the data (Shift+Delete) erases it from the storage device. However, it only makes the data inaccessible for the user. Any tech-savvy person can easily recover the data using data recovery software<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are some scenarios when you need to wipe data completely from your computer.<\/p>\n

Discarding Old Device<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every storage device, be it USB, HDDs, or SSDs, has an \u2018end of life\u2019 stage where it needs to be disposed of. However, one of the common mistakes people make is that they dispose of the storage device without erasing the data. The most they do is delete the files manually or format the device. As already mentioned, this does not completely remove the files from the storage device.<\/p>\n

Use file eraser software like BitRaser\u00ae<\/sup> File Eraser to delete these files permanently<\/strong> so that the data becomes inaccessible to recyclers and dismantlers.<\/p>\n

Selling the Computer<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are putting the old desktop\/ laptop for sale, it is vital to remove the files permanently from your system. First, take a backup of your entire data to an external storage device. Once the backup is taken, you should use a secure data wiping software<\/a> like BitRaser to wipe the entire data from your system.<\/p>\n

Giving the Device for Repair<\/strong><\/p>\n

When your storage device is damaged, you need to give it for repair. The service provider can access your critical data, such as personal pictures, documents, or ID proofs. It is recommended that you copy all your important documents to an external device and wipe these files and folders with BitRaser File Eraser, before giving it for repair.<\/p>\n
