Easy File Deleter

Easy File Deleter is a small software application developed specifically for helping you delete files permanently from your computer. A simple deletion task does not ensure that target files are erased for good from your system. They can still be retrieved using third-party recovery utilities. If you plan to get rid of sensitive files or sell your computer without leaving any private documents behind, you can opt for erasing data using a secure deletion algorithm.

In order to run Easy File Deleter correctly and avoid experiencing bugs and errors, you need to deploy Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 on the target computer.

The program does not make a very good impression in the visual department. It sports a plain interface that has only a few configuration settings to offer. You cannot appeal to a help manual. However, you can get an idea about how the tool works in a short amount of time because the dedicated parameters look highly intuitive.

Easy File Deleter gives you the possibility to import items by using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). You cannot make use of batch actions so you cannot process multiple items at the same time. A deletion process can be carried out with a single click.

Tests have pointed out that the application is quite speedy and erases data without errors. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it hampers your computer’s performance.

To sum things up, if you are looking for nothing more than basic deletion capabilities when it comes to erasing files permanently from your system, you may give Easy File Deleter a try and see what it can do for you.

On the downside, you are not allowed to choose between several deletion algorithms (e.g. Gutmann, DoD 5220.22-M, Schneier, US Army AR380-19), search for files in your computer by file extension, date, and size, wipe out the free space for the selected partition, generate user-defined wiping schemes, and shred the files sent to the Recycle Bin, just to name a few advanced features.
