Zer0

Zer0 is a software tool that can be used in order to aid people in getting rid of particular files for good, without the possibility of being recovered.

The installation process does not come packed with any unpleasant surprises and it is over in a jiffy. After you complete it, you are brought to a pretty minimal and clean interface, as it only consists of a small menu bar, a button and a panel in which to display all uploaded items.

Both power and novice users can learn how to handle it with a minimal amount of effort, even in the absence of Help contents.

This program enables you to easily permanently delete files, so as to prevent them from being recovered by other tools. You can upload items with the help of a file browser and with the “drag and drop” function, features which enhance ease of use.

All added items are going to be displayed in the main window as a list, along with name, size and status. It is possible to remove a selected file from the list with just a click of the button, while you can also empty the entire list.

Clicking the “Delete” button is going to start the removal process, and it is important to keep in mind that it cannot be undone and you should tread carefully. A progress bar lets you approximate the time left until the deletion is done and you can open logs in a Notepad window.

Last but not least, you should know it creates a new entry in the Windows context menu, thus enabling you to delete items with just a click of the button, and further enhancing ease of use.

To wrap it up, Zer0 is a pretty simple, yet handy piece of software dedicated to both beginners and highly experienced people which are interested in permanently erasing files. The interface is intuitive, the response time is good and the amount of resources required is insignificant.
