How to Erase files permanently with Glary Utilities?

When you delete a file in Windows, it will probably be moved to the Recycle Bin. Anybody can get a file back out of the Recycle Bin. For this reason, many users empty the Recycle Bin regularly, or delete their files without moving them to the Recycle Bin.

But you should know that Windows does not really destroy a file when it deletes it, its entire contents are still located on the hard drive. Windows simply marks the file as "deleted" in the file system, and the disk space occupied by the file can be used to store other data. But as long as nothing is saved in the area occupied by the deleted file, this "lost" file can be found and recovered easily through inexpensive and easily available data recovery utilities. These tools makes your data unsafe as any unauthorized person can recover the deleted data and use it.
