Migale Eraser

If you’re dealing with a bunch of files that you really need to secure, locking them with passwords, or using different algorithms to encrypt data is only half the job, you these must also be permanently removed when no longer needed. A classic removal process can be easily reversed, but Migale Eraser and its kind want to make sure target file cannot be recovered through any means.

The first thing about it is you’re able to use it to remove files this way from other computers as well. With no installation required, it can be carried for the task on a thumb drive, without doing the PC any harm. Registries are not modified, thus the overall health status remains intact.

As far as the interface goes, the application greets the geeks with the classic program for “Hello World!”, in a large panel running in background. In a more compact main window, you find a variety of labels and tags which help you better understand what’s about to happen, and choices for the process behavior.

The application is based on a strong algorithm to permanently remove files. A drop down-menu gives you the liberty of choosing from three different Entropy levels, each using its own number of passes, with more passes also increasing the process duration.

Although you don’t have direct control over the type of algorithm used, you do have to wait for a random generator to create a unique security core for each process. You’re able to force a recursive directory erasure method, for better overall encryption.

There’s one thing you need to know before putting the process in motion. Pressing the erase button brings up a browse menu at the end of which files are removed, without bothering you for confirmation.

To be fair, if files are of such importance, you’re probably part of a secret service. Otherwise, applications like Migale Eraser are more than enough the recovery process is not worth the effort of trying dedicated recovery utilities. Even if it’s not so abundant in methods and customization, it gets the job done quickly and efficiently.
