If you&#8217;re using a laptop, you may find the Mobility Center useful.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>WIPE OUT! Cipher.exe<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">When you delete files or folders in Windows, they\u2019re not actually deleted. Not even close. Deleting a file or folder merely tells Windows that the space occupied by the file or folder that you deleted is now available for use, and Windows considers it free space, space to be used.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">So everything you delete is still on your computer, but the hard drive space it used shows as free space. That means the files you deleted are very recoverable&#8230; at least for a while. In fact, with the right software, everything you\u2019ve ever had on your computer, every word you\u2019ve typed, every picture you\u2019ve saved and deleted, everything is recoverable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">There\u2019s a hidden utility in Windows that will overwrite all the free space and make the files you\u2019ve deleted unrecoverable. It&#8217;s called Cipher.exe and all it takes is a simple command to run it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Press the Windows Key plus the \u201cR\u201d key and type:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">cipher \/w:C (where C is the letter of the drive you want to wipe). So if you want to wipe drive C, type: <b>cipher \/w:C<\/b> . If you want to wipe drive D, type <b>cipher \/w:D<\/b> . Please note the space between the word cipher and the forward slash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Also, it\u2019s important to note that wiping the free space on your drives does not affect any of your data or programs. It does not delete anything&#8230; it merely wipes the space occupied by files you have deleted and that Windows shows as free to use. You won&#8217;t lose any data by doing this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">One more thing: If you have a very large hard drive with a lot of free space, this process is going to take a long time, so be prepared. Also, closing all open applications while the free space is being wipes helps speed up the process. So the best time to do this is when you\u2019re not planning on using your computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2020\/cipher1.png\" alt=\"Cloudeight Windows 10 Tips - Mobility Center\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; Two Windows 10 Features You May Not Know About Mobility Center Where can you find controls for screen brightness, battery settings, volume,\u00a0 external displays, and more all in one place?
