Sold my Macbook - did I delete files correctly?
I just want to make sure I did what I was supposed to when clearing out old files. The first thing I did was reset safari (clean cache & threw away old applications)
Next I did the following:
1) I put the installer disc in.
2) Disc Utility
3) Erase Files
4) 7-Pass Erase (took an hour or so)
Last: (took about an hour)
I then did a fresh install of OSX. When it was done, I got the screen to do the initial set-up of the Macbook. (Language, Connection, Mac Account, etc...)
It may have been overkill - but I didnt want my old files to be accessible. -- Thanks
