[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 952194, member: 51052"] rm simply 'deletes' the file. It does not copy it to the recycle bin. Since this just removes the inode pointer it's fast. Secure empty does indeed overwrite the data location, so it can't be readily reread... you can do that at the bottom line with srm. [/QUOTE]
