Yes i google it and some topic make me sooo confused.
Some people say: you can store without stealing / deleting files any people who access on your computer
and other say that can be deleted without recovering the fiels.
So i was wondering what is Secure empty trash? (Apple => Empty trash)
For me i said, i can't recover the files?

apple website wrote:Emptying the Trash in the regular manner clears room on your Mac for other files. But the data hasn’t actually been removed from your computer — the space occupied by these files is simply available to be overwritten by new information. Until this happens, it may be possible for someone to use data recovery software to restore your “deleted” files. And if this information is sensitive or confidential, it could potentially end up in the wrong hands.
That’s why Mac OS X Leopard provides another option for deleting data: the Secure Empty Trash command. Meant for those occasions when you want to permanently and immediately delete files, Secure Empty Trash overwrites your data with digital gibberish, ensuring that your deleted data is gone for good. It may take a few moments longer, but it’s a good choice for deleting data you’re sure you don’t need — and don’t want anyone else to see.
