Portable DelinvFile is a lightweight but very useful application that could help permanently delete files from your computer. It comes with a really intuitive graphical interface and plenty of tools that you can check out and some nice features.

The application doesn't take long to install and it doesn't come with a complicated setup that you would need to complete before you can actually use it.

Portable DelinvFile sports a really intuitive graphical interface with plenty of tools that you can check out and use in order to permanently delete files from your computer. However, you must be careful when using this application as it doesn't provide any tools for recovering files that you've deleted.

The Scan function scans for invalid file names and too-long long filenames. The scan process begins with the Current Path selected by the main program and recursively scans each subfolder.

The scan function bases its test for invalid file names on Microsoft documentation related to File Naming conventions. It lets you pick the driver for scanning, filter files by special characters and check out the list of results.

DelinvFile is not guaranteed to be able to delete all files. It has achieved a high degree of success in being able to delete the majority of invalid files. The Windows system will not allow an in-use file to be deleted as it could cause the program using the file to fail.

If you wish to delete such a file, you can try using the advanced function under the Delete File at Boot tab. This will create a request for the operating system to delete the File at the next system startup (boot).

Portable DelinvFile is a very nice application for permanently deleting certain files from your system and keeping it clean.
