There's all kinds of programs you can download, some of which do useful things. That's the great thing about the Internet

I haven't done it for years, and can't remember what I used then.

Try this... says it's free but don't know if it's any good.

Basically, when you delete a file, most OS's don't bother going through and erasing every byte of data, because it would take ages. They just mark the first couple and last couple of bytes as "this stuff is deleted" so it can be written over as needed. Which means you can revover it. Or something liket hat anyway.

But as I said it's not something I've had to do for years, so give the above a try and then you can tell us if it's any good.

Yeah I didn't refresh the page before posting. Shame really, because it would have prevented you from being a stroppy cunt and I may have been inclined to buy you a pint or two on Monday
