How can I Hide deleted files forever?

gus_2008 · 03-11-2008, 11:13 AM

I don't want even the name of the deleted files to appear in the desktop search. I know there is an option to remove deleted files of the search results, but it can easily be changed. And just as long as it is changed, the name of the files start to appear again. I would like my deleted files to desapear FOREVER of the results, even if this option is "on".
Is it possible?
I'm worried 'cause I know there are softwares to recuperate such files, e I don't want them to be recuperated.

Sorry for my english, I think it's not perfect.

Try to clean the history of your computer.

Thanx for your answer, but what do you mean by "cleaning the history of the computer"?
The google desktop search finds files that I've deleted even after I've cleaned the trash.

maybe you're computer has virus

gus_2008 · 03-13-2008, 05:28 AM

Tx everybody, but my computer has no virus. And it's not a question of visited web pages.

The question is that the google desktop shows the link, and a preview, to files that I have ever deleted. Although It's not possible (at least immediately, but there are softwares that make it possible) to open the file, I wouldn't like even the name to appear. And It appears, since you make such choice in the "options".

And the question is: how can I hide such files forever, in a way that they stop appearing in the google desktop search?

This affects my privacy. If my notebook is stolen, for example, can't these files be found, and maybe recuperated?

Try to press these keys on your keyboard.

CTRL + SHIFT + DEL

then click the button labeled "Clear Private Data Now". It is the shortcut in deleting your computer history.

And it does not solve the problem yet. The GDS still finds the files I deleted.

The botton "Clear Private Data Now" is in firefox? Is that one?

'Cause if it's that one, it does not answer my question.

I know how to clean the history in firefox and in IE, my problem is with the files in the hard disk. And with my ignorance, of course. But that's why I'm here!!!

Thanks,
