Clean free space

Is there an application for cleaning free space making impossible recovering of the previously deleted data?

Command-line or GUI? I know of KGpg that's a KDE app that creates a "file shredder" on the desktop. You can drop any file onto it and it securely erases it. It comes installed by default when you install KDE in Arch.

I would like command line... or at least desktop dependency less since I do not use KDE but XFCE

Re: Clean free space

Try wipe. pacman -S wipe installs it from the extra repo.

Also, beware. Read this from wikipedia:
