What does bleaching mean? and why would you use it?

Hi st3ph3n,

The bleach function ensures that the contents of any existing deleted files will be modified with the unreadable data thus preventing users from viewing the original contents of the applicable files, causing these items to be uncoverable.

Once the bleaching is complete the temporary files will be removed, thus preventing users from recovering and viewing the original contents of those respective files via 3rd party recovery programs. The bleaching feature is applicable regardless of the usage of the systems recovery disc. *Please note, Privacy Guardian must be run within a Windows desktop environment.

If you find there is a lack of free space on your hard drive after bleaching. Please restart the computer and start another bleach and let it run to completion, Privacy Guardian should then remove the temporary file at the end of it's processing and you will regain all the free space. If the temporary files are not removed then please remove them manually.

Please check your hard disk and then delete any random files generated after the bleaching. It usually starts with pgbleachXXXXXXX. So simply delete these files.
