Disk Wiping Overview
Disk wiping is beneficial for privacy, because files are not completely deleted using operating systems default delete function. In most of the file systems, delete function consists of marking the space occupied by the file as free and updating file system allocation structures, leaving actual file contents intact on the storage media.
If there is continous read and write operations on the drive after deletion, eventually this space will be assigned to other files and would be overwritten. However, if the there hasnt been much of read and write operations since the file was deleted, data recovery software or disk forensic tools have a good chances of retrieving deleted data in chunks or in whole by accessing the disk drive.
So normal delete command or deleting data from the recycle - bin is not a safe method for data removal.
