Secure Delete feature is almost the same as deleting the files from your computer normally, except there is no possibility to recover those files later on.
Normally when you delete a file you can recover it later by using Recycle Bin. Or, if the file is deleted from there also, it is still in the hard drive 'out there' and can be recovered with special software.
Secure Delete replaces the information inside the file with random data and deletes the file after that. Once overwritten (and done so several times) there is no sense to restore such file any more by someone, as it does not contain original content any more.
To open Secure Delete, open the Tools menu and select it from the File Operations submenu. Once the window appears, you can select the file and press the "Delete" button. For security reasons you are also asked to confirm the action before the deletion is executed.
To close this window without destroying the selected file, please click on the 'Close' button or hit 'Esc' on your keyboard.
WARNING: ONCE THE FILE IS DESTROYED, YOU CAN NOT ACCESS OR RECOVER THE FILE IN NO WAY ANYMORE
