[QUOTE="JUDAS1, post: 1474016, member: 284704"] im trying to delete files from my hd without them being recoverable, the issue is i can't access my user account. im using an external hardrive, if i move the files to the trash on the external hardrive, and wipe them, will the data still be recoverable on the original hd? im not sure if moved files can be recover, and im going to format it using the 7 pass with the mac installation disc. i just want to make sure the files cant be recovered on the original hd, if they can, how can i remove those files without formatting the whole thing [/QUOTE]
