Tiny Shredder

Tiny Shredder pretty much says it all. This small program, which can easily be carried around on a USB stick, if desired, can help the user securely erase files, folders, or whole drives. Simply select the areas you'd like cleaned, drag them to the right pane, within the app's window, and you're set. All that's left to do is click the Erase button.

If you're not sure how many times the app should write zeros instead of your deleted file, then you need to understand that the more passes you select, the longer it takes, yet the more secure the deletion process. Depending on how important the deleted content really is, one should opt for a higher or lower number of regretting passes. The rest of the app is pretty easy to understand. The left pane is represented by the various directories in your PC, while the right is a blank page for adding new paths to files you need to be cleaned.

Now, usually, privacy is essential to everybody, but even more so if you work in a domain that actually requires you to be as discreet as possible. Keep in mind the program is not one of those advanced shredders, but rather a home or small-business type of helpful program. If you're looking for a more professional take on this securely erasing procedure, then this app might not fully satisfy your needs. Then again, if you're looking for a simple take on this issue, this app will suffice.

Tiny Shredder is an application that could be useful to all users out there. Whether you want to make sure that sharing your computer is totally safe, or you feel the need to keep things as protected as possible, this program will help along the way without having to steal too much of your time in the process.
