TweakNow SecureDelete

TweakNow SecureDelete is an easy-to-use program developed to help users permanently delete files and folders from their computer, in order to prevent specialized software from retrieving it to gain access to sensitive information.

The setup operation take little time to finish and does not require special input from the user. Its GUI is made from a clean window with an intuitive structure, where files and folders can be added to the shredding list using either the file browser, tree view or drag-and-drop support. Batch processing is possible, so you can remove multiple items at the same time.

Before proceeding with the deletion, you can open the "Options" panel to select the shredding method, between 3, 7 and 35 passes (Gutmann is highest). Alternatively, you can specify a random number of passes. Another option is able to clear the Windows paging files\ on computer shutdown, while the tool also provides access to the Recycle Bin contents to immediately erase all data there.

Tasks are may take a while to finish, depending on the size of total files and selected shredding method. However, TweakNow SecureDelete uses low CPU and RAM during this time, so it does not affect the overall performance of the computer. We have not come across any kind of issues in our tests, since the tool did not freeze, crash or show errors.

Thanks to its advanced, yet intuitive options, TweakNow SecureDelete should please all users who want to quickly shred files and folders. It can be handled even by novices.
