Wipe Emptied Mac Trash and Permanently Erase Deleted Files

When you delete files and empty the trash bin, the files are not really lost. The operation only removes the entrance of the deleted files and makes the disk space of the deleted files be available for new data. Before the disk space is overwritten by new data, you have a good chance to get them back with Mac data recovery software. If you only want to free up disk space by deleting useless files on your Mac, emptying the trash bin is the eventual step. However, when you are going to permanently destroy the deleted files, these operations of deletion are not enough to get your files lost forever. Fortunately, there is a good way to wipe emptied Mac trash and permanently erase deleted/lost files.

When the files are deleted/the trash bin has been emptied, they are stored into the unused disk space of the Mac hard drive. So wiping the emptied trash bin equals to wiping the unused disk space. In order to prevent the deleted files from being recovered by data recovery software, the unused disk space should be overwritten by zero/random data (not take up disk space). It sounds complicated but Mac data erasure software provides an easy way to do all the work.
