| Hello k:
It depends on what you mean by "permanent".
The above will remove it from sight, but it's still on your hard drive.
If you want to delete it PERMANENTLY. After you do the above, defrag your drive. However, even then, it's detectable if someone REALLY wanted to detect it. The next step would require a 3rd party utility like Ace or others. After you use one of THOSE wipes, your drive will be clean.
