Even if you empty your Recycle Bin, that doesn't mean that those files were permanently removed from your computer. They can be recovered with the proper application and skills.

If you want to completely remove files from your computer, you can use Free Secure File Eraser. It deletes your files and makes sure they don't leave traces on your system.

It sports a really intuitive and simple graphical interface with a neat layout that proves easy-access to multiple sections and tools. It doesn't come with any customization features, which means that you can't make any adjustments to the interface.

Free Secure File Eraser comes in multiple languages that you can choose from. It allows you to permanently delete any files from your computer and make sure that all bits of information are removed.

The first thing that you need to do after launching the application is to browse your computer and load the files that you would like to work on. It lets you import entire folders from your computer and delete them.

It supports batch processing mode, which means that you can work on multiple files at once. Free Secure File Eraser allows you to add files by using the drag and drop feature. It displays the file name, type and status of your file. You can also clear the list of files with a simple click.

It has multiple modes for secure file deletion, including Gutmann (35 passes), DoD-7pass (7 passes), DoD-3pass (3 passes). Each of them takes a certain amount of time to complete.

You can set the application to automatically shutdown your computer when done or ask a conformation before deletion. You can also add the program to the Windows Explorer context menu so that you can access it faster.

Free Secure File Eraser is a very useful application that you can use in order to permanently delete files from your computer and make sure file recovery programs can't retrieve them.
