Aborting a shred or free space bleaching operation
When a shred or free space bleaching operation is in progress, a message above the
HP ProtectTools Security Manager icon in the notification area is displayed. The message provides
details on the shred or free space bleaching process (percentage complete), and gives you the option
to abort the operation.
To abort the operation:
▲ Click the message, and then click Stop to cancel the operation.
Viewing the log files
Each time a shred or free space bleaching operation is performed, log files of any errors or failures
are generated. The log files are always updated according to the latest shred or free space bleaching
operation.
NOTE: Files that are successfully shredded or bleached do not appear in the log files.
One log file is created for shred operations and another log file is created for free space bleaching
operations. Both log files are located on the hard drive at:
● C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\File Sanitizer\[Username]_ShredderLog.txt
● C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\File Sanitizer\[Username]_DiskBleachLog.txt
