Hello, I'm reaching out to your site to find out how to permanently delete a personal document in LibreOffice Writer and OpenOffice. I have highlighted and deleted the pages, but it is complicated with LibreOffice Writer. I want to ensure that there is no trace left of it. Thank you for your response. Best regards
