The Data Discovery Module (BCWipe Search) is an add-on installed with BCWipe that helps you find sensitive, outdated, or leftover personal data on your computer. This includes forgotten documents, such as scanned IDs, tax records, or bank statements, as well as less obvious copies of personal information stored in application files, temporary files, and other locations you might not think to check. BCWipe Search helps you locate and review this data so you can securely erase files you no longer need using BCWipe.
