Hi Karitora

 

Welcome to the Community Forums.

 

The level of 'strength' of the deletion is set by going in to 'Advanced Settings' (top right hand corner of the main panel), and then selecting/clicking on the 'Secure Erase' tab (from the list on the left hand side of the newly displayed panel.

 

On the next panel displayed you will see a slider which allow the selection of 'strength', i.e., 'Normal', 'Medium, or 'Maximum'.

 

Set the one that you want (but please make sure that you read and understand the effect of each 'strength'. Click 'Save', and if presented enter the CAPTCHA code, and there after when you right click on an object for deletion and select 'Permanently erase with Webroot' the deletion will take place apply the 'strenght', i.e., number of overwrites that has been set as per the above.

 

I hope that answers the question? If not then please post back.

 

Regards, Baldrick
