Troubleshooting
The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for file
management. This makes the file invisible to the operating system, but
the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you dispose of the
PC, please delete all the data on its HDD. Doing so prevents
unauthorized use of such data. To ensure your data is not used for
unauthorized purposes, you can:
■ Physically destroy the HDD
■ Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data
■ Take the HDD to a professional deletion service
All data deletion costs will be borne by you.
