Easy Shred

Easy Shred is a shredding application designed to permanently remove files and folders from the computer. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture types, as well as all popular Windows editions, including Windows 7, 8 and 10.

It gets integrated into the Windows Explorer shell extension after installation, thus enabling to seamlessly wipe items by just opening their right-click menu and "Send To.." submenu.

Alternatively, you can drag the objects and drop them on Easy Shred's executable file. Batch processing is supported, so you can send multiple selected files and folders to Easy Shred at the same time.

In the following step, the utility displays a confirmation message that informs you of its intentions to shred all files, folders and subdirectories in the specified target, giving you the possibility to cancel the action if you have any doubts.

The tool encrypts files before shredding them (using a three-pass security algorithm), and it fills them with random data. This offers an extra level of protection if recovery software tools are powerful enough to work, since they will get ahold of garbage files.

Secure cleaning is an alternative to the traditional file deletion method, where items are sent to the Recycle Bin and cleared from there, or they are eliminated using the Shift + Delete key combination mode. There are a lot of software products which specialize in file recovery, and this means that your personal files and folders deleted through the traditional method can be retrieved by unauthorized users or organizations.
