There is a great breadth and depth of products online that work the issue of drive cleaning from the perspective of pornography. Many of these fall into the eraser software category, some are commercial products and others are free. However there are more things that these software tools can do, several of these can also clean up orphaned data, check the drive for porn and remove it, find programs that are not properly licensed, and show where your disk space is being taken up.

Before cleaning a hard drive of porn you should consider the available options; firstly you could delete files by hand, or software can be employed to do the job. If you manually clean the drive, this involves examining by hand, the file folders and deciding which of the files of the examined items are redundant, and removing them in your own time. There is less chance of losing unwanted data than techniques involving automated software tools but can be a burden. You can use software cleanup products that can determine information such as the file accessed date, and make a list of the files that can be safely erased without involving the user.
