File Shredder is a utility that allows you to permanently delete any information from your hard drive. It will not be possible to restore it even with the help of special software. Among its analogues, this application has small requirements for system resources and ease of use. You can launch the utility by using the context menu, which can be called by right-clicking on any file or folder.
The principle of deletion is simple - the program first overwrites the file and then writes random sequences of zeros and units over the memory cells in which it was located. You can set the number of such records yourself. The more times the random sequences are written over the released cells, the more likely it is that the deleted files will not be recovered. In general, decide what is more important to you - the rate of rubbing or its reliability.
The main benefit of using File Shredder is its ability to permanently delete files, making them irretrievable, ensuring your data privacy.
