deleting files
 

When you delete files where do they go? I have noticed that they are not going to my recycle bin. I do not want all this stuff to sit on my computer and slow it down.

When you delete files from LimeWire they are permanently deleted. They don't go to the Recycle Bin.:)

cool. thanks

i dont believe that because i deleted some things one time and then by accident i found them now i cant find them again to delete them.

I was merely telling Coastal what has been told to me. If you don't agree with it then take it up with the LimeWire developers.:rolleyes:

well I would like to find out. I know i found them the other day while working on a certain task.

If someone really wanted those files back all they would have to do is perform a system restore on their computer.

trust me i dont want them back i just wanted to make sure they were off my computer

if you really want them off of your HDD, then instead of using LW to delete them, you should use an erasing utility that actually overwrites the data...

LW just removes them from available use by the OS, the data is still on your HDD

erasing files permanently
 

Peerless...please, can you walk me through how to permanently delete files? You mentioned you can do it through a utility. Please can you provide directions?
