OSXFAQ Reader Tips 
An Easy Way To Securely Delete Files
OSXFAQ Reader Tip By Harvey Rubinstein
For those (of us) not too keen on mucking about in Terminal and still
desire to securely delete, and have Stuffit Deluxe:
Open Applications/Stuffit Deluxe/Stuffit Drag and Drop and then drag the
Secure Delete application to the dock (or make an alias of it and place
it where ever it will make your heart happy.)
Then, when you want to securely delete a file/folder/document, just drag
the "doomed" to the Secure Delete icon that is in the dock. And since
the dock supports drag and drop, the application automatically opens and
voila! But be careful. There is no undo and the data are immediately
overwritten 3 times.
NOTE: Since this capability has always resided within Stuffit Deluxe,
you may want think about this tip a bit. All I did was streamline the
process.
Enjoy :-)
If you would like to see your tip here send it to us at contribute@osxfaq.com, You could be famous too!!
