Essentially this is the same as Delete with wiping but with a shortcut to locate all files currently in Trash and dispose of them securely. This command allows you to conveniently delete all files and folders moved to Trash but not yet deleted. This way you can be absolutely sure that not a single byte of information can leak to the subsequent owners of this disk.

When any of the internal or external disks you have been using for a long time need to be disposed of don't just delete files or format them - use BCWipe to completely erase them instead.

Click Wipe Free Space button on Task Manager toolbar or control-click a disk icon on your desktop and select BCWipe: Wipe free space item in Finder services menu. Optionally, BCWipe can wipe file slacks of all files on the chosen drive before wiping actual free space. This is necessary to ensure that data remnants left by your Mac when you simply deleted the files before are completely gone from your system. Special care will be taken to also remove any alternative data forks and extended attributes of the file. Delete with wiping is used to completely overwrite a group of files and/or folders and, optionally, their names and slacks and delete them without any possibility of restoring them later.
