Why wipe data at all?
When you delete a file in a usual way, the file is in fact not deleted at all. Usually, all that happens is that the file's name is removed from the file system's index and the space occupied by the file is marked as available for new data. However, as long as no new data is written on those locations, the 'deleted' file can still be recovered. This means that all your "deleted" contacts, SMS messages, email messages and sensitive files can be fairly easily recovered by widely available data recovery software.
The solution to this is
data wiping.
SecuWipe is data wiping tool that completely removes sensitive data from your Windows phone. It overwrites it in accordance with
strong data sanitizing algorithms. It wipes all previously deleted data, confidential files and folders, contacts, email and SMS messages from your HTC device and its removable media cards.



Use wiping to remove traces of your everyday activity
When you browse web, receive and send SMS or MMS messages, all this information is still discoverable on your device, even if you "delete" it.
When you edit documents, containing confidential information, MS Word or Excel create one or more temporary copies of your document in the device memory, and these temporary copies are still there even after you finish working with the document.
All this information can be easily recovered easily using data recovery utilities unless you WIPE it.
Wipe confidential SMS messages, browsing history, cookies and all temporary files to ensure they will not get into wrong hands.
