How to use Delete Files Permanently
• I ran "Wipe free space". I had 600GB free space when I started but after wiping I had only 550GB. Nothing else was done to the computer while wiping. What happened to the 50GB?
It sometimes happens that due to disk errors after wiping free space the free space decreases. To correct it we recommend that you check your disk for errors and make defragmentation if necessary.
