There is a command to Zero the empty space on a hard disk into a file and I just forgot it. You set the file size to be bigger then the empty space and it creates a file that is all the empty space zeroed and then you delete the file.

Could some kind person please remind me of the command?

dd if=/dev/zero of=/filename_on_partition Is that the command you were looking for? Sandy
