I activated Transparent Wiping, but how can I tell if it is really working?

Use a log file for investigation purposes. Follow these steps:

 

  1. In the Transparent Wiping task, enable the 'Use log file' option.
  2. Click 'LogView' for the special Log Viewer utility to open the log file.
  3. Continue your usual activity:
    - Open/Close applications like MS Word, Internet browser, email program, etc.
    - Run system procedures like Disk CleanUp, Empty Recycle Bin, disable System Protection, etc.

LogViewer will show you the Transparent Wiping process in progress. You will see the process that initiated the deletion, the file name and whether or not the wipe was successful.
