Files that have been deleted from your hard drive can often still be recovered if you have the right program at your disposal. This is great news if you have deleted something by accident, but it is not ideal if you need to prevent others from retrieving potentially sensitive files.

Mareew Free Eraser is a simple application that can delete your files and replace their contents with a sequence or random data in order to make it impossible for the original information to be recovered.

The application comes equipped with a basic file explorer designed to help you locate the items you wish to delete, but it does not allow you to sort the files in any way, and no search function is included.

It is also worth noting that the program only allows you to select and delete one file at a time, which means it is not the best solution for users who need to erase multiple items or entire folders.

Novices are likely to appreciate the fact that no complex configurations are required before using Mareew Free Eraser. However, only one removal method is supported, and no information is provided about the deletion algorithm.

Also, the application cannot be integrated into the Windows file context menu, which would have made it a lot easier to delete items securely.

Unfortunately, the panels that house the folder tree view and file explorer cannot be resized, and you cannot change the size of the file icons.

On the whole, the interface seems to lack polish, although it does feature a relatively straightforward layout.

Mareew Free Eraser is a no-nonsense secure deletion utility that can certainly come in handy, as it makes it a lot more difficult, if not impossible, for others to recover files that have been erased. However, it lacks some useful functions and features a disappointing UI.
