Simple File Shredder

Simple File Shredder is an application that securely deletes your files so they can never be recovered. Simple File Shredder accomplishes this by scrambling the file name and over-writing the file with random bytes before deleting it.

When you delete a file using the conventional Windows delete method, the file is not actually destroyed. Windows simply acknowledges the file is no longer needed and considers it free space. The deleted file will exist in a recoverable state until it's over-written with other data.

When you use Simple File Shredder to shred a file, the file is over-written with with random bytes before it's deleted. If the file was ever restored using recovery software, it would be worthless. Simple File Shredder can also shred free space on multiple drives to securely remove files already deleted through Windows.

Often we need to get rid or delete forever some files, without any chance to be recovered. This is a small, but useful application that can do that. Just add the files and folder, choose deletion method between Gutmann, US DoD or a custom one. Click Shred and you files are gone.
