if you delete your entire hard drive on your computer, or even re-format the drive 100 times, your old files can still be recovered if the drive is placed in the right hands.....
also....if the file does work properly, why do you need to load it 3 times?....do you need to load a BIN file 3 times before it works?

I was giving a little FYI to RagingBull since he asked.
Yes, the EEPROMs will be clean using the cleaner files.
Also, FYI, writing bin files to a receiver it is actually advantageous to write them three times, actually. I generally recommend this if you experience subtle problems with a single bin write. I can site occurrences of this, but I will leave it at that.
The trouble with cleaner files is you cannot write them if you have certain receiver problems, as in the case of a loss of power. Then there is no way to clean the EEPROMs unless you get the power supply working.
And, if you know how to properly erase a hard drive, data is also totally unrecoverable as well.
Everything called 1's and 0's is more exactly just + and - charges.
What can be written can be changed.
