- The software products listed in this table wipe the entire contents of a computer drive through use of a bootable diskette or CD. Since many of the products allow various levels of overwrite, be sure to select the option that is DoD-compliant.
- There are other software products that work with an operating system to wipe individual files and folders. These products are meant for daily use and do not wipe the operating system files which may contain sensitve information such as passwords. The final cleaning of any computer system should be done with a product that wipes the entire contents of the drive.
