    There was also some commentary about how files that you made up 
didn’t become confidential suddenly and that you need to keep them 
secure all along. Still, it was a handy feature when you had a file 
like a CSV that you downloaded from a banking web site. You could 
encrypt the file and securely delete the original. You can go to the 
command line and use rm -P, but the convenience is gone.
