Why you need file shredder software
There are a number of methods to delete files from your computer - you can delete files using the Delete button and then empty the Recycle bin, use delete methods that bypass the Recycle bin and even format your hard drive. But all these methods do not actually remove the data, they simply mark the space as 'free' so the system can use it when required. But the contents of deleted files remain on the disk and can be recovered.
If you are donating, selling, or discarding your computer or just want to free up disk space to improve computer speed, you may need to shred files as they might have stored sensitive information you want to keep in a secret.
In order to completely delete files from a hard drive, you need to overwrite them with other data.
Delete Files Permanently is an easy-to-use file shredder that lets you permanently remove files containing sensitive information and wipe free space on a hard drive, USB drive, memory stick, and other storage devices. The program automatically adds the 'Permanently Delete' item to the right-click menu so you can easily access it when you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer.
