Abstract
A job execution device includes: a storing unit; a file system that divides a storing area of the storing unit into a plurality of division areas, and manages the storing area of the storing unit; a management table in which deletion management information indicating whether an overwrite deletion is necessary is registered for each of the division areas; a deletion processing unit; a job execution unit; and a management table updating unit. When the file system receives the releasing request, the file system changes the division area management information for the division areas to be released by the releasing request so as to change the status to 'unused' before the deletion management information for all of the division areas to be released by the releasing request is changed to a non-necessity of the overwrite deletion.
