EraserDrop Portable

EraserDrop Portable is a lightweight software application built specifically for helping you carry out secure cleaning operations for making sure your sensitive data cannot be retrieved by other dedicated tools.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to delete files or folders permanently from the computer on the fly, without having to go through installation steps.

EraserDrop Portable runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with.

The utility offers support for a floating window, which can be moved to any of the screen, and gives you the possibility to carry out the deletion process by dragging and dropping the file or directory directly on the floating icon.

At the end of the task, you are offered details about the deletion procedure, such as total number of wiped documents and folders, total time, wiped and written data, as well as errors and failures.

What’s more, EraserDrop Portable gives you the possibility to choose between various powerful deletion algorithms, such as Gutmann, Schneier’s method, or DoD 8-306.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to wipe the Recycle Bin and free memory for the selected drive, ask for confirmation before removing the files from the computer, show the erasing report, assign hotkeys, as well as make the floating icon remain on top of other windows.

During our testing we have noticed that EraserDrop Portable carries out a task very quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process. It leaves a minimal footprint on system resources, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

EraserDrop Portable offers a simple yet powerful software solution for helping you delete files and folders permanently from the PC. Thanks to its intuitive interface, it is suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
