Abstract

A new long-term memory erasing device, referred to as EasyClean, has been invented. In general, EasyClean is a stand-alone, dedicated function device which is designed for an untrained user, who is tasked with removing data from one or more long-term memory storage devices located in one or more computing devices (targets). EasyClean provides one or more target devices with bootable code. After a target is booted, EasyClean communicates with the target device and monitors the status of the data removal operation. EasyClean may communicate this status to the user. EasyClean may generate an Audit Trail and provide it to the user. EasyClean may accept input from a user, such as what type of data removal to perform. EasyClean may write data to a storage device after the data removal operation is complete.
