BCWipe Total WipeOut

Data deleted from within the OS is not completely destroyed, traces of it being fused into the drive even when we are not aware of it. That's why, when it's about time to sell, donating, or simply dispose of the drives, wiping should be the number one rule. Unless you don't care about the information you can potentially expose to the public, cleaning out the disks must be a priority. BCWipe Total WipeOut is a trusty utility that can guarantee data from your drives is not going to be recovered and taken advantage of, which can be a possibility.

How does it work?

BCWipe Total WipeOut requires a removable disk first. The disk will then be changed into a bootable USB drive, with the help of a wizard-like interface that guides each of our steps. Also, make sure you back up the contents of the bootable drive, or else they’re to be wiped too. Moving forward, you'll have to decide on the USB's work mode. If you want to burn every piece of information out, go with the Automatic mode. Choose the Manual mode only if you want to select what's to be wiped or not.
The final step lets you enable logging on the removable drive. That means an after-report will be generated on the USB drive after the wipe-out was performed. Furthermore, you can also check a box that ensures the wiping options are not modified while connected to a target machine.
After all, options were chosen, a summary will be presented. If you are happy with the configuration, click on Create and that's all, you can now use the removable disk to erase other drives.

To summarize

Your data should remain personal until you decide to purge it, and that's what BCWipe Total WipeOut can help you do. Whether you're a single user who wishes to sell a working, yet clean drive, or you're a company that needs to decommission some assets, this program can ensure that.
