Hello,

i hope, i have a very simply question.

How secur is "delete/erase" ? After this command, no other program can recover these informations?

Thank you very much!

Nothing on your VMS system will ever read that information. If someone got his hands on your disk and had unlimited resources, it is possible that some information could be recovered. The only way to be certain that no one will EVER read your data from that disk is to destroy the media! If you are not protecting information classified "burn before reading" DELETE /ERASE is probably sufficient.
