Performing Forensic delete

Post by subbuvin »

When I want to delete a file so that it is hard to recover that file again by forensic methods, I would overwrite the file numerous times with random data and then unlink the file. Forensic deletion of data from the database could also be done the same way. Is there a specified method for deleting data from the texis database so that it is hard to extract information forensically from it once they are deleted? How easy is it to perform a forensic delete on texis database?

So, will I be overwriting the same location where the original data resided in the first place?
Thanks in advance,
