Portable Flash Wiper

Portable Flash Wiper is an application that can securely delete files from a removable drive.

Aimed at users who want to permanently remove data and make sure no other recovery app can restore the files, Portable Flash Wiper relies on a wizard that assists them throughout the entire process.

Of course, the program can delete absolutely any file format as long as it’s placed on the target drive.

Portable Flash Wiper asks users from the get go to select the drive they want to wipe, with a bit more complicated options available in the next few steps.

For example, the app can start from either the first or the last sector, while it also gives you the option to choose the pass count and the hex mask.

A wiping progress screen is displayed as Portable Flash Wiper deletes the data, showing you the currently processed disk, mask, passes, disk size, current and total sectors and disk progress.

Portable Flash Wiper is most of the time a very fast application, but it’s strongly recommended to avoid working on the system before the wiping task comes to an end. It doesn’t hamper system performance, but administrator privileges are needed on Windows 7 workstations.

As you may guess just by reading its name, it’s a portable app that can be easily copied and launched from a removable drive without prior installation.

All things considered, Portable Flash Wiper makes for a very good app that can securely delete files from a Flash drive. It has no stand-alone help manual, but the wizard provides the essential information on every single step.
