Working with sensitive information usually results in residue files that, if not properly disposed of, might jeopardize your computer's and your personal security, as well.

However, nowadays, there is a broad variety of software solutions that can help you securely remove files from your computer, thus preventing others from accessing them. One of these applications is Secure Deleter.

Secure Deleter is a lightweight application that can help you protect the security of your computer by allowing you to permanently remove any documents you no longer find necessary. It comes with a minimalistic user interface that integrates straightforward controls, thus making it highly accessible to a wide range of users.

However, since this application's purpose is to remove files and prevent other programs from recovering the deleted content, caution is advised, especially for computer novices.

You can access an advanced settings menu that allows you to configure certain parameters, such as choosing your preferred algorithm, specifying the number of overwrites or emptying the file content.

After you decide which option combination better suits your preferences, you just need to press the Save button and proceed with deleting the files from your computer.

More so, this application allows you to either remove each file individually or load an entire folder's worth of files, thus providing you with more control over the process. When loading an entire folder, the program automatically includes any existing sub-folders.

To wrap it up, Secure Deleter is a simple, yet powerful utility that allows you to safely and permanently remove files from your computer in an easy, efficient manner. It comes with a simple user interface that incorporates straightforward functions, thus proving itself to be a valuable asset.

What's new in Secure File Deleter 6.13:

  • With this update we are removing SHA1 code signing certificate from our executables. The SHA1 digest was deprecated by Microsoft many years ago. We keept it after that for many more years just to support old operating systems. From now on our code will be signed by modern SHA256 only. Thus, legacy systems, such as Windows 7 and earlier will see "unsigned executable" warning, because they don't recognize newest SHA256. You may still use our app, just click "yes" or "approve" to continue. Just a warning message on a legacy systems will change from normal blue to yellow warning.
