Wipe selected files and free space on Windows 8 Storage Spaces

In addition to the ability to securely erase files, BCWipe offers a convenient solution to Wipe Free Space on Storage Spaces. Once the command is launched, BCWipe reads the disk configuration and analyzes Windows in order to exclude from the wiping process all unallocated space (or the unused portion of free space). BCWipe now only needs to run on the allocated free space, which may contain sensitive information.
