Hi
This is my Servicemenu. It use wipe to destroy files and directories.
Wipe:
Secure file deletion
Recovery of supposedly erased data from magnetic media is easier than what
many people would like to believe. A technique called Magnetic Force
Microscopy (MFM) allows any moderately funded opponent to recover the last
two or three layers of data written to disk. Wipe repeatedly writes special
patterns to the files to be destroyed, using the fsync() call and/or the
O_SYNC bit to force disk access.
INSTALL:
Just copy the file to
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
The following languages are supported: en,fr,br,it,de,es
It use the command: wipe -r -f
I hope it is useful.
Wipe has only full effect on ext2!
Write Comments please.

It is off by default, because it is not 100% secure on all filesystems, as stated above.

But the problem is, that with modern journaled file systems like ReiserFS, EXT3, JFS and others, tools like wipe or shred offer only limited security.
Wipe or shred can do a good job on EXT2 file systems, but if one uses a journaled file system the best thing is to use an encrypted file system.
I really don´t want to offend, just wanted to say, if one really needs secure deletion encrypted file systems are the only road to go.
