Free File Shredder is a lightweight and user-friendly program whose main purpose is to function as a secure cleaning instrument, allowing you to safely dispose of certain files from your system, reducing the chances that they be recovered.

The main window of the application is fairly simple and attractive, making it rather appealing for both those with experience and the novices, as it is able to perform its tasks without much hassle.

Free File Shredder features several algorithms that you can use, allowing you to select the preferred one from the dedicated menu. The tool can work in batch mode, which means you can easily add several files or an entire folder to be erased.

In order to get rid of your most sensitive files, you will first need to load them into the program, either by drag and dropping them onto the main window, or by browsing through your PC and selecting the targeted items.

The available ‘Shredding Algorithms’ are ‘British HMG’, ‘US Air Force’, ‘US-DOD’, ‘German VSITR’ and ‘Peter Gutmann’, enabling you to opt for whichever you think is likeliest to provide you with satisfying results. When done, you can just press the ‘Shred Files’ button, and the utility will ask for confirmation before proceeding with the operation.

Moreover, Free File Shredder features a scheduling component that allows you to set up recurring tasks at a user-defined interval, by select a certain directory and deciding on the time it should run. Similarly, the tool offers a ‘Wipe Free Space’ function that enables you to choose the system drive, then remove all superfluous data from your computer’s empty space.

To summarize, Free File Shredder is an efficient and easy to understand piece of software that can successfully assist you in removing sensitive files from your PC, regardless of their format, featuring several algorithms for you to resort to.
