There's a wiping that supposedly fulfills this function, but it's name doesn't strike me as the most adequate, since the first thing I was asking was "wiping what?". I'm thinking there are better terms like secure-deletion
or data-deletion
, since they are self-explanatory and actually more discoverable.

“Wiping” is a commonly-used name. The tag name on Security Stack Exchange is destruction
. This may not be the most discoverable name for non-professionals though. We can define synonyms.

1Full ack. We might introduce
secure-deletion
as synonym for those not familiar with the term "wipe". "Destruction" sounds too, hm, destructive ;)– Izzy ModSep 21, 2014 at 23:01
