Hello:
Awhile back, I backed up my iPhone 5S to that computer. I have sensitive data on in (on the strong end, my clients personal financial data/SSN/cc numbers). I need/want to securely remove all of my phones backup data from the computer so it can't be recovered and gone through by anyone that will be using the computer after me.
So, I used Eraser to do a secure, multi-pass deletion of the actual backup files located in "AppData" in Windows. I'm pretty sure it worked.
Here's my concern: Does Windows store/copy any iTunes backup data elsewhere within the Windows file system? Or, does the iTunes backup strictly stay in the "AppData" folder.
I realize that this may be more of a question directed to an experienced Windows user rather than an ITunes expert, but maybe someone here can help me out a bit. Thanks!
