What is the best program for securely deleting files, is it still BleachBit?

Ask Hillary Clinton.

rm
dd

> Override the Disk with 0's
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX

> Override the Disk with random chars (takes longer)
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

shred

It doesn't work on journalised filesystems since file may be copied to other place under the hood and overwriting may not be enough. You would have to bypass filesystem.
`shred /dev/sda`

yea it does, you simply need to request from the FS where exactly on disk each extent is, then overwrite those areas directly
the writes will be journaled, but will end up in the right place

wait, they won't be journaled, you write those without going through the FS driver

Going to laugh when the company that your stealing from takes your laptop analyses the partition and finds all zeros or plausible evidence you had tampered with the device per breach of your employment contract

for i in {1...100}
dd if=/dev/random of=/home/fag/deletethisfile (file's size in bytes)

something like that.
learn linux, fags.

You are left with file artifacts of unencoded shit

thc srm/sfill/smem

If dban looks to complicated for you then you should honestly stop posting on a technology board

Depends on the media.

Shred works wonders for removing files on spinning disks. I don't think it's going to be effective with SSDs. Also it will shred the remaining lifespan on the SSD.

DBAN is good for whole drives. Again, it will destroy the lifespan of an SSD.

Go ask someone else Crooked Hillary
