the clear all sectors on the hard disk (HDD) resets all the disk space on the specified hard disk and leads
the state just received from the factory. Therefore, this function cannot be performed on hard disk drives (HDD) containing
operating system. To the cleanup HDD need to connect to another computer and only then to produce
their complete reset. After cleaning is finished, all sectors on the HDD, all the contents thereof are securely destroyed
without the possibility of recovery by any currently available means of data recovery, both software and hardware.
Cleaning the free area of the logical drive is absolutely safe to your data, but securely destroys
all pre-existing data. For the NTFS file system this feature is performed in two stages:
- Zero data on pre-existing data and destruction of short files to the Master file table (MFT):
- Clear (zero out) free, does not contain the currently relevant data, disk space.
After completion of the first phase, which is performed fast enough, the screen is given the message shown in Fig. 6b.

For most practical cases, this operation is sufficient to ensure data security. After this operation, the recovery
data only by scanning the entire disk space and the allocation of it data search on signatures, and search
fragmented files is also more difficult.
The second stage of purification of the logical drive completely eliminates the ability to restore previously recorded and then deleted
file.
