thanks.
I assume there should be an equal sign after the "if", right?
Anyway:

- shouldn't this be done several times, to make sure that whatever was
  in the free space really is unrecoverable?

- apart from that, probably it's a mix of typos and English not being
  my native language, but honestly I don't understand the last two
  lines of your answer, that is the part after "as the same":

may I ask you to rephrase them, please?
