Sep 30, 2015 7:55 PM in response to xlntmacby John Galt,★Helpful"Secure Empty Trash" is no longer available for sound reasons.
Sensitive files ought to be considered sensitive from creation through deletion and everything in between. A document or file does not suddenly become sensitive the moment you decide to delete it.
If you are working with sensitive files whose content must be secure from unauthorized access, use FileVault.
