[QUOTE="Kevriano, post: 1186857, member: 18605"] Empty trash basically just earmarks the space on the HD so that it can be overwritten, but in theory you could recover that data. Secure empty overwrites the space with 0's and 1's, basically overwrites the data completely. This is why it takes so much longer, but it also free's up more space than empty trash. [/QUOTE]
