[QUOTE="rman, post: 741925, member: 23"] Here is the simple explanation. What empty trash does is erase the pointer to where the file is located. Thus making the space available again. Th next writing of a file will write over the file that is residing there. The secure empty trash does one more step in that it also write a zero over every sector the file resided on. This is the reason it takes longer in the deleting process. [/QUOTE]
