Do I need to purchase software to truly delete stuff from my computer... or is it something I can do on my own. Also, are products that erase internet history just a waste of money? I have been considering Mireth Tech items - shredit and netshred.

TIA

google uapp to uninstall apps

to erase internet history, just do it within the browser

I am not thinking of apps... but files. as for the browser history... can it be recaptured once it has been deleted?

How about Reseting Safari, then doing a secure erase of the HD free space?

You could use the Private Browsing feature in Safari?

with out some expensive software and know how it can not.

Once it is deleted it is deleted.

Disk Utility can securely erase the empty space on your HD (overwrite noise data), so that once you've deleted files and emptied the trash, if you secure erase, then the files become unrecoverable
