Secure wiping of files in trash bin

[Fred]

There is no "secure file deletion" feature in the Trash Bin.

Please add a optional "secure file deletion" feature to the trash bin, so that I can securely and permanently wipe the files from the disk.

I need to wipe some files off from my hard disk. Forever, permanently, irreversible.

I am wanted by the FBI!

you can use shift-delete to bypass the trash

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

right, that's a duplicate

Yes, I can use shift-delete to bypass the trash, but its still not secure file deletion.

Secure file deletion is when the file is overwritten many times, so its not possible to undelete it, even with advanced file recovery software.
