SDelete2

SDelete2 is a simple to use application that enables you to securely delete files that contain private information or to cleanse entire folders. The software is based on the SDelete program and offers an intuitive GUI for user convenience. The SDelete2 uses the Guttman and DoD cleansing methods alternatively.

Private information is a sensitive item to store on your computer. Not only do you need to protect it while you use it, but you also need to make sure that no one can recover it once you delete it from your computer. There are several methods of data recovery that enable interested users to retrieve data from deleted files/folders.

SDelete2 can help you prevent this action by enabling two security erasing methods, alternatively. The Guttman and the DoD sanitizing methods can be used with SDelete2, in order to make sure the data is permanently erased. Both methods imply the overwriting of the selected file using random fragments of code.

SDelete2 allows you to process one file at a time or to cleanse an entire folder, by recursively overwriting each piece of information stored by it. You need to select the deletion method before you load the file/select the folder, since the process starts automatically once you do. The DoD sanitizing implies overwriting the item 3 times, while the Guttman method performs 35 security passes in order to ensure the information cannot be retrieved.

Eac action is recorded in the ‘Output’ area and can also be viewed in the CMD Output. You may easily save an activity log in both types of syntaxes: plain text or command line format.

SDelete2 is simple to use and can ensure you that the data you wipe cannot be recovered, even with powerful tools. The software allows you to erase any file or to cleanse an entire directory and displays a log of each activity in the Output/CMD Output areas. Additionally you may type in a custom number of passes, thus defining your own deletion method.
