How to download and install the Heidi Eraser permanent deletion tool

When you delete a file on a Windows computer, it is only deleted from the operating system. Unfortunately, the file still remains on the computer’s hard disk and can still be recovered with the right tools.

This may not matter too much with your current computer but if your computer was stolen or sold, it may make you a little nervous to think they can access your previous files.
Thankfully, there is software available that will permanently delete files from your hard drive. One of the best free tools is Heidi Eraser. It’s easy to install and very easy to use so here is how you install it.
