I'm new here so I hope I'm doing this right. I was hoping someone could tell me if spybot's secure shredder can shred files that have already been deleted? I haven't used spybot in years, and i'd like to download or purchase an updated version. I believe the last one I had was from 2008 spybotsd162, Though I'm not certain of the year. I don't know if I'm delusional, but I could have sworn it would shred already deleted files. Am i remembering doing something I never did? Anyway I recently found it in my downloads and downloaded this old version just as a test. All the shredder does is ask me to choose files i want to delete, but no~where do I see an option to shred what's already been deleted. & yes...I know that version's old. I have my reasons for asking. Before downloading a new version, I'd like to know if it can shred files that have already been deleted but are still on the hard drive? & did spybotsd162 have this capability back then? If anyone can answer this it would be most appreciated
