    When a person deletes files on a computer and assigns them to the trash folder and then empties the folder, it doesn't erase the file from the disc space where it was stored unless its overwrituen which can take anything from weeks to years. BleachBit is a free open source deletion tool which is available on the Ubuntu platform. Which tool would you recommend?
