Since the computer hadn't been shut down, the program was still running, saving Zhou Yaping the time of having to write a script to crack it.
He paused the running program, not in a rush to delete the files he left behind.
On a computer, deletion doesn't mean complete destruction. For a programmer, recovering a seemingly deleted folder is incredibly easy.
First, he located a drive, then moved his encrypted folder over.
He found numerous gigabytes of junk files online, copied and pasted them into the folder.
He then used a shredder file to completely delete it with one-click formatting, fully processing the file.
Even after doing all this, Zhou Yaping still felt it wasn't secure enough, so he continued copying and pasting junk files into the already formatted drive.
Renaming, deleting, formatting—this process was repeated over and over, ensuring that even if the emperor himself came, he'd cause a short circuit.
