Overwrite Deleted Data on Drive in Windows 11 and 10

Devices Overwrite Deleted Data on Drive in Windows 11 and 10

This tutorial will show you how to overwrite (secure erase) deleted data on a drive so it can't be recovered or accessed in Windows 10 and Windows 11. When you delete files or folders, the data isn't initially removed from the hard disk. Instead, the space on the disk that was occupied by the deleted data is deallocated. After it's deallocated, the space is available to use when new data is written to the disk. Until the space is overwritten, you can recover the deleted data by using a low-level disk editor or data-recovery software. When you encrypt plain text files, Encrypting File System (EFS) makes a backup copy of the file. So the data isn't lost if an error occurs during the encryption process. After the encryption is complete...

Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 11

System Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable hibernate and restore or delete the hiberfil.sys file in Windows 11. Hibernate is a power-saving state designed primarily for laptops, and might not be available for all PCs. (For example, PCs with Modern Standby may not have hibernate available.) While sleep puts your work and settings in memory and draws a small amount of power, hibernation puts your open documents and programs on your hard disk to the hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys), and then turns off your computer. Hibernate uses less power than sleep and when you start up the PC again, you’re back to where you left off (though not as fast as sleep). Use hibernation when you know that you won't use your laptop or tablet for an...
