file wiping and shredding
File wiping and shredding refers to the process of permanently deleting or overwriting files in order to prevent their recovery. File wiping involves overwriting data multiple times to ensure that it cannot be recovered through data recovery tools. File shredding, on the other hand, involves physically destroying the storage media on which the files are stored, making it impossible to retrieve the data. Together, file wiping and shredding are essential practices for data security and privacy protection.
