Most of us generate or download files that, after some time, become useless and thus, we need to delete them to save disk space. Also, there can be sensitive files that we want to prevent others from seeing. Nevertheless, simply sending those files to Windows Recycle Bin is not enough, since there are many recovery file programs that can "undelete" those files and make them visible, thus compromising the information contained in them.
This program can make any file completely unrecoverable by overwriting it up to 30 times with random binary information. This means that the program will substitute the file's information with 0's so the final result will be completely unreadable. Another interesting feature is that the program can overwrite all your disk's free space. As you may know, when you send a file to the Recycle Bin, it does not disappear, but is marked as free space by the system. Thus, by overwriting this free space, you can delete permanently all the files you previously deleted.
The program works fast and can delete entire folders. One of its greatest advantages is that it is completely free. Thus, if you need to make your sensitive files unrecoverable, this program will be a perfect choice.
