Directory Structures
When you delete files, Windows sometimes keeps their names buried in the directory structure of the hard drive. This function scans and analyzes all the folders on your drives, securely eliminating all traces of deleted file names, and also their times, dates, sizes and attributes, leaving not one single trace of evidence remaining. As a full low-level cleaning solution, it is activated by a single checkbox. There is no need to adjust this function in any way, it is fully automatic.

File Structures
Files are stored on your disk in clusters. Clusters are fixed chunks of space provided by the Windows File System. If the cluster size is 4kb and your file is 6kb, then your file takes two clusters but only occupies half the second cluster. Files normally have free space at their tips, containing data left-over from previous insecurely deleted files.
