Makomk deserves most of the love, but if there's any left over you can send it to 165YUuQUWhBz3d27iXKxRiazQnjEtJNG9g . .cpp and .h are C source code. Your wallet should just be called wallet.dat. It will usually be in /home/<username>/.bitcoin .

Good to hear it worked out! Always glad to help. Yes, always wipe your hard drives... AFTER you save your BTC.

this writes zeroes to all data areas of the hard drive, removing the option of recovery A zero fill does not generally remove the option of recovery on spinning disks (if you only zero fill once). I'm not sure about SSDs, but it probably doesn't remove the option on those either.

A zero wipe changes it from "here run this utility" to requiring an electron microscope to maybe POSSIBLY recover something (at modern drive densities it's debatable whether it's possible at all). That's close enough for most people.
