Many people believe formatting the drive will result in complete destruction of its contents. Actually that is not so. The matter is when you delete sensitive files or format a hard disk your operating system does not erase the contents - it only deletes the information regarding the files' location instead. It means that your confidential information still resides on your hard drive and can be easily recovered with data recovery software.

The only way not to have problems with the data you thought was deleted is using wiping solution. Doing so you:

Prevent identity theft

Make sure nobody recovers your deleted information

Prevent your sensitive information such as financial records, passwords and other confidential documents from falling into the wrong hands

When you're retiring or upgrading computers/servers it's critical to protect sensitive company information they contain. But simply erasing or reformatting your used disks isn't enough to prevent financial records, passwords, employee data, and other confidential documents from falling into the wrong hands.
