Hi there
I wonder if anyone could help me?
I moved some private / sensitive files to the trash to delete, and clicked on "secure empty trash" to make sure they were permanently deleted. However, I then had a second thought, and so clicked the "stop empty trash" button whilst they were being deleted. The files are now no longer in the trash, or in their original locations. Have they been (securely) deleted, or only partially deleted? Are there parts of the files still floating around, somewhere hidden on my system. I have entered into spotlight the name of the files and it cannot find them.
I greatly appreciate any advice anyone can offer?
Thanks
