this is not really a problem but i wondered if anyone had any feedback on the use of the wipe deleted files feature on ACE and which of the wipe options eg psuesdorandam data etc might be the quickest. This seems a long process perhaps rightly but I wonderd if there is an optimum way of using it.

ythanks

Well, a wiping method with the lowest number of passes *may* be the quickest one. It does not necessarily guarantee the strongest security possible. It all depends upon the user and the level of security required. With today's large capacity disks (with big partitions), it takes time to finish the process.
