HOLYmac! Did you know that emptying your trash in OS X doesn’t really empty it..? I just found out myself via Apple Pro Tips on the official Apple website. There are 2 options in Finder to delete trash.
- Finder > Empty Trash
- Finder > Secure Empty Trash
The “Secure” option actually removes the data from your computer, as opposed to “moving” it into the trash. It’s something I’ll do more often now, since ….
- It just really deleted 95,000 items from my hardrive
- It’s a bit of a security risk to have items that you want deleted for ever, not actually deleted at all.
Thanks Apple Pro Tips!
