Today I found out that I can easily restore files that I've deleted a year ago. Is there any way to delete files permanently without drilling anything how it was in mr. Robot? Wana be sure that if i will sell or give someone my laptop this person won't be able to restore my delete private keys.

Go to download.com and find programs that can help you do this. To completely make those files unrestorable, I believe you would need to overwrite the exact used space over and over again. There are some programs out there that can help you to do this.

Use Recuva it's free and you can find and restore delete files or overwrite them so no one can recover them..works for videos photos or text docs and email

Deeply can clean MSDOS tool called Vitctoria. But probably that's gonna take a long time. In each field of memory you should put 0 value... That's a long process
Or just put hard on microwave for a while. That's gonna destroy data forever
Also if you can do electromagnetic gun that's possible

You must overwirte the free space. Tools like CC Cleaner could help

I'm pretty sure that I've used it (and not just once) during this year but most of the files could be easily restored by different software like Handy recovery. Thats the first program I've downloaded (anc cracked) from thepiretebay and it still works fine with most of the files.
