O.P. Wink  File delete?
I had a look on google and all the programs that permanently deletes files are not what i need. You have to specifie a file to tell the program. I need one that deletes (actually resets binary's to 0) all files thats i have sent to the recycle bin and emtyed.

If anyone can something that does this is would be great. I can only find programs that make you find the file first.

Astalavista.

Overwrite with bigger files and defrag?

RE: File delete?
What you want is called "wiping" a file.
Search google for that, you'll find tons and tons of apps.
Also known as "shredders".

Many programs which can undelete can also "shred" or "wipe" files.

RE: File delete?
BCWipe works the way you want: it adds an "empty with wiping" option to the recycle bin right click menu.  You can also wipe individual files and empty disk space.

Unfortunately, it is not free.  You can purchase it on its own and it is also included with the BestCrypt encryption software.  There may be something free out there that does the same thing, but seeing how BCWipe is exactly what you asked for, I thought I'd mention it.

P.S. The trial versions are fully functional for 30 days.
