7. Student - How do I delete my thesis materials securely?
Unnecessary material files and temporary files created in connection with the completion of the thesis must be deleted when the need for them ends. Simply deleting a file and emptying your computer's recycle bin does not mean that the file has been permanently destroyed. Deleted data can be recovered even after reformatting the hard disk.
