Hidden and System Files
Though it is uncommon in cases other than donation of a physical hard drive, during processing, the Library may come across hidden, system, or previously deleted files that may document that donor’s use of computers or systems. Hidden and system files may include files that were deleted by the user but not emptied from the trash and log files that document the types of software used, all computer users, and dates and times of updates. If found, does the Library have permission to delete these files? If files are found and you do not wish for them to be kept, we will find all hidden and system files to the best of our ability and delete them permanently.
