Data protection is a function of both deletion and encryption:
Deleting data does not necessarily remove the information from your drive. Usually, when deleting files only the pointer to the file in the file allocation table is deleted, leaving the files actual data untouched. This enables hackers to undelete files using special utilities.

In order to encrypt your data, it has to be read, encrypted and then replaced by the new encrypted data. This means that your original file is deleted and replaced by an encrypted version of the same file. Therefore the deleted original can be retrieved as explained above. Encryption alone is not completely safe.

In order to protect your data, it must be encrypted, in addition to physically wiping any trace of your original un-encrypted files. This is exactly what Lockngo Professional does.
