When running certain wiping methods the process sometimes fails near the end with a "Not enough space on the disk" error. This prevents the wipe from completing, leaving a partial wipe that may compromise data destruction.

Potential Causes:

Attempting to write beyond available space.
Misalignment of buffers or blocks near the end.
File system structures unexpectedly occupying space.

Suggested Fixes:

Check available space before each write.
Adjust buffer size dynamically toward the end.
Consider accessing drive sectors directly instead of file-based methods.
