Are you feeling well?
If you mean to get rid of the extra free space on a Hard drive, why would you want to?
Seriously, I would get some rest if I were you.

I think you probably need to explain what you mean a bit clearer mate.

Re: Erasing Free Space?
Oh my god, you guys don't know what this is?
Erasing free space is where it permanently erases your free space and makes all the files unrecoverable. I'm just wondering if by doing it, is it safe as in it won't mess up any of your current files.

Re: Erasing Free Space?
Erasing free space is like locking all the extra free space on your hard drive, am I right?
Isn't that an extra feature on Tracks Eraser Pro or something?
But I think it's useless, don't do it.

Re: Erasing Free Space?
NOOOO!
Erasing your free space is where it literally ERASES your free space on your hard drive to make all of your previously deleted files permenantly unrecoverable.
