data shredding
A process for deleting data that is intended to make the data unrecoverable.
One such process consists of repeated overwrites of data on the storage media. Data shredding is not generally held to make data completely unrecoverable in the face of modern forensic techniques–that requires physical destruction of the storage media. Forensic techniques, however, do require physical access to the storage media.
