I've seen lots of talk and code about secure deletion of files, but
never anything that addresses the removal of the filename from the FAT.
Anybody know where to find C code regarding this issue for WINDOWS?
Thx,
Peter

My Directory Snoop program does that (purge function):

An NTFS version is coming soon.

You won't find any API functions. You have to write directly to the
clusters holding the directory structure.

The file name is not in the FAT.
