To prove destruction of evidence you must prove that it existed in a
form that was retrievable ( good luck ) and then that its destruction
was done by a person who was aware of the crime ( not always so in the
networking world ) for the purpose of concealing the crime( burden of
proof on you ). I clean disk space randomly and not according to any
