This sounds like a no brainer right? It's common sense, so why am I telling you? Well it's because people don't realize how dangerous it can be to not delete everything off a hard drive. It came to me after I bought a used Xbox 360 hard drive. I went on it to start moving my files from my old hard drive to the new one. And I noticed that there were two credit cards on it. Now if I was some thief that would be like finding a gold mine. But it's not only game console hard drives that you should worry about, but any type: external, cell phones, computers, even media players. Sometimes we don't realize how personal our devices are and they can quickly be used in the wrong manner. I know I don't want to see a surprising bill of $5000 dollars worth of games and music that I didn't purchase. Also this a good time to rethink what we put in our portable devices.
Have any questions or comments please leave them. Thanks for reading.
