Philip is optimized for speed and can usually do the trick in just a few minutes.
It can take a long time to copy 4096 MB of files to a hard drive- sometimes hours, depending on the source, number, and size of the files. Why not just copy a bunch of files to my drive instead? Finally, delete Philip’s temporary file and reformat your drive. Philip will create a giant file of nonsense information that will wipe out all traces of the old files. Next, run Philip and tell it to leave 0MB free on your drive. To do this, delete all your personal files and empty your recycle bin. If you’re preparing to get rid of a computer and you’re worried about future users of it (or your hard drive) being able to retrieve old personal files from it, you can use Philip to ensure that none of your personal data is left over on the drive. If you’re concerned about data security, you should know that when you delete a file and empty your recycle bin in Windows, it’s not truly gone until the sectors where it was stored get overwritten with other data. With Philip you can test how a program behaves when running on systems with very limited free disk space. Another way that Philip comes in handy is during the development of software. You can use Philip to temporarily stuff your hard drive so that you can install that problematic piece of software and then reclaim the space when you’re done. You can usually successfully install programs like this when the hard drive has less than 2 to 4 gigabytes (or 2048 to 4096 megabytes) free. Some setup programs aren’t capable of calculating space requirements on hard drives that have a very large amount of free disk space available, because the numbers that the computer reports are so big that they exceed the setup program’s ability to properly interpret them. Philip was initially designed to work around a problem that sometimes occurs on computers that have very large hard drives. The Philip application was designed to be a small program that fills up your hard drive.
