So you don't worry: there is a way.  They make programs that do this.  This
why most encryption programs not only delete a file, but also "wipe" the
disk drive i.e. over write with zeros. There is probably free software that
will do this. Have a look at http://download.com.com/2001-20-0.html

Subject: [OT]:Recovering CD files


I did a dopey thing. After backing up HDD files to a CD I
deleted both the HDD originals (which I wanted to do) and
also accidentally the CD files. On the HDD they were in a
folder but on the CD they are loose files, so it didn't register
that I'd deleted the same thing twice. I was checking the CD
and just lost track of which folder I was in when I dumped them
to the Recycle Bin, which was then emptied, so they ain't nowhere
no more. The space on the CD is still occupied by the files (~100MB)
although of course there are no file names shown. I'm hoping there's
a way to re-enable them. I'm using Win98SE and the CD is set up
for access as a file drag-drop drive
