Recently bought a 250gb 850 evo. Trim is enabled but when i delete a file from the recycle bin it should be deleted completely (right?). But using a file recovery program the entries still appear. Eg: deleted flowers.flv but that entry appears under the file recovery program. How can i erase that entry so as to not leave any traces of files behind?

I just would boot into linux and delete it that way. Linux is fairly easy to use and it can see files Windows leaves behind.

There are programs for it. I have never used one. These file fragments are small and I am not sure what the reason is for deleting these traces but normally SSD's are not good to free space wipe.
AVG tune up utilities worked surprisingly but unfortunately there isn't an option to wipe free space so the problem still persists. The AVG shredder worked well with deleting files from the recycle bin but i'm looking to find a program that will allow me to wipe free space. Any other ideas?
