Abstract
A computer-implemented method that enables an operation relative to a removable storage medium connected with a computer includes, obtaining an erasing flag to be set to the removable storage medium on the basis of a predetermined rule when the removable storage medium being connected, obtaining a connection time when the removable storage medium is connected, and identifying whether a program being activated on the computer is an erasing program for erasing data stored in the removable storage medium. The computer-implemented method enables concealing, upon the erasing flag is being on and the program being activated being other than the erasing program, data to be erased classified on the basis of the connection time included in the data stored in the removable storage medium.
