secure-delete is a command line tool and must be run from the terminal. i believe the command you are looking fro is srm. try typeing "man srm" in terminal. i personaly have not used it. i have used wipe command in the past . http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/01/securely-wipeerase-files-in-ubuntu.html hope this helps. azmodie
