Not sure if the intention was to completely destroy the contents of your bin, or merely learn about the processes. Nevertheless, this mob suggest they can permanently 'kill' the old files without any possibility of recovery. This is their sales pitch
Existing Windows commands related to data deletion, like Delete, Empty Recycle Bin, Clear History, Delete Temporary Internet Files in Microsoft Internet Explorer can not guarantee confidentiality of erased information or your Internet Privacy. Any intruder can still recover deleted files from your computer using low-level disk editors or latest data recovery software, such as Active@ File Recovery, UNERASE, UNFORMAT or UNDELETE. Even if you've deleted file encrypted in Windows 2000, recovering of original file contents is still possible. The only way to completely ensure that files deleted are not recovered is to use a secure application that should explicitly destroys the data, overwriting and replacing hard drive surface information with some random information as Department of Defense recommends in DoD 5220.22-M / NISPOM 8-306. ZDelete is the security tool, which is designed specifically for this purpose. It successfully supersedes standard deletion operation in Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP on any file system: FAT, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5. ZDelete excludes any possibility of undesirable access or tracing of history of deleted data and thus eliminates any chance of using restored information against the owner's will.
