Hi all,

This is my first posting...Thanks for being here.

A brief bit of background...We are currently going through our annual 
records retention schedule review.  As it happens, an officer of our 
company came across an article that informed him that deleting an 
electronic file doesn't necessarily mean it is gone for good.  Though it 
is my understanding with regard to e-discovery "good cause" would have to 
be shown before it would be necessary to recover files from slack space, 
he does bring up a good point.  It is great to have a Records Retention 
Schedule, but what does it really mean if the files are still out there?  
I have been asked to explore e-shredding programs.  I know there are many 
out there including freeware. My questions for you all:

Does anyone have experience with these programs? If so, what would you 
recommend?  Has anyone deployed such a program enterprise- or agency-
wide?  Thoughts, comments, recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
