Careful Maintenance:
DonÆt you find it annoying to clean up your hard drive(s)
regularly and to delete temporary or unused files in order to
gain more disc space?
From now on Ashampoo HDD Control 2 will automatically do this job
for you. You wonÆt have to spend time on going through all your
folders. With just a few clicks the software finds unused files
and Internet traces on your hard drive(s). Those will then
displayed in a list and can be erased, if necessary.
Instead of transferring files and folders into the computerÆs
recycle bin you can select and delete them directly in Ashampoo
HDD Control 2. If you want to delete files and folders
irretrievably, dragging them into the recycle bin will not be
enough. Ashampoo HDD Control 2 now offers different erasing
methods, to delete files and folders irretrievably from your hard
drive(s).
Maintenance at a glance
Deletion of unnecessary files with the Drive Cleaner and
Internet Cleaner
Creation of an exceptions list for files and cookies that
shouldnÆt be erased
Option to add own file filters
Deletion of Internet traces
Data destruction of files and folders with different erasing
methods (e.g. with several overwrite processes)
Fully Automatic Defragmentation:
A defragmentation is a way to rearrange the data on a hard drive
to increase performance. If an element, for example a file on the
hard drive, is erased, an empty space will occur there.
This empty space is filled again when a new element is saved on
the hard drive. If the space isnÆt big enough, the new element is
broken up into fragments. These will then be placed into
different places on the hard drive to fill empty spaces.
After some time the PC will need longer to read files, because,
first of all, it has to assemble all fragments. Therefore it is
very important to do a defragmentation regularly, in order to to
maintain the hard driveÆs performance.
Among the common methods Ashampoo HDD Control 2 uses the
so-called "proactive" defragmentation, which makes use of your
work breaks to analyze the level of disk fragmentation and do a
fully automatic defragmentation, if necessary.
Data recovery for emergencies:
ItÆs very annoying, if important data are deleted by mistake.
With Ashampoo HDD Control 2 these files might not be lost
forever.
The software offers to recover deleted files and folders with the
integrated data recovery. Just select the relevant files and
restore them with Ashampoo HDD Control 2.
