This question actually applies to any file wiping tool that doesn't rewrite files accessing the clusters directly, but I'm asking here because BleachBit got my attention by adverting that 1 pass is enough, while other tools make you think that real safety is to rewrite files 35 times over, which, by what I've read around, doesn't make sense in current times. My question is about Windows, NTFS, but info on other platforms is welcome, I like learning.
