Portable WipeFile gives away its abilities right from the start. This easy-to-use file wiper, or shredder, that overwrites your files with random data before deleting them. Why would you consider such an app? Let's say you are going to sell your computer, laptop, or just a hard drive only — you wouldn't want to have your personal information exposed to the buyer, who might just be good at data recovery. To ensure that never happens, put all your files through the metaphorical grinder, represented by Portable WipeFile in this case.

Besides writing no information on your system, being portable allows you to carry it in your backpack, in a simple thumb drive. Launching the app for the first time prompts you to choose the user data location. This data cannot be considered system-specific information, as it only generates logs based on your activity, and can be created in the source folder. Check out the logs to see what files have you erased, and what methods were employed, along with the date and time trackers.

To add files and folders to the list, you can simply drag and drop them in. You can add items using the app's toolbar shortcuts as well, but that would take you more time.

Data wipe methods of various standards are ready for use. You can use basic methods that execute a single override run, maybe two or three, or you can go with military assets like US Navy - MFM, US DoD / AirForce, NATO Standard, etc. None of the examples is however better than the Peter Gutmann method, which is able to do 35 overwriting cycles.

Portable WipeFile is not the only shredder around, but it definitely tops the list. If you are looking to sanitize some part of your drive, and have no time to waste, this tool will fit you like a glove, especially if you want to be sure your data never goes out in public.
