FILE SHREDDER PRO : HOW TO SHRED UNWANTED FILES
Delete Files Permanently - easy way to shred unwanted files |
Do you know that every file, program, movie, picture, photo, document and anything else you have previously deleted using simple 'Delete' are not permanently removed from your PC and can be restored?
If you delete files using standard Windows 'Delete' option, Windows does not actually remove file content from your PC. Windows just deletes a reference to the file from a table that lists all files on your computer but the content of the file still exists until Windows overwrites it with new information. So 'deleted' files are still kept on your hard drive and can be easily recovered. To protect your privacy, you should shred unwanted files without any chances to restore them.
Delete Files Permanently helps you shred unwanted files from your PC without the possibility of being recovered. You can easily select the pattern of bits as well as the number of times the data will be overwritten.
With Delete Files Permanently you can shred unwnated files on PCs, removable disks, USB-flash drives, memory sticks, flash memory cards, picture cards, etc
