What File shredder does?

fileSh1

File shredder is a free tool that deletes completely or not giving a chance to extract the data even though it deleted from the recycle bin and fear from the hard drive that it can be recovered.

It enables you to delete files beyond recovery, using multiple passes, DoD 5220-22.M or the Gutmann method. The program can wipe individual files or entire folders (with optional subfolders), and also integrates with the right-click menu for convenient access from within Windows Explorer. File Shredder can also wipe the free disk space on selected drives, allowing you to erase traces of files that have been deleted previously by using standard deletion methods.

What it does?

To remove, or shred files permanently without any trace from your system you have to use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with random series of binary data multiple times. This process is often called shredding. That way, the actual content of the file has been overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a shredded file are mostly theoretical.

You have a choice of five different shredding algorithms. It's as easy a program to use as you can imagine. Just choose your files, tell the program to shred them, and they'll be gone forever.
