MariusSoft Disk Scrubber

Even though you empty the Recycle Bin after deleting a bunch of files, it doesn’t make them completely gone from your computer. There are various applications which can recover deleted files by reading different sectors, but you can also rely on specialized tools like MariusSoft Disk Scrubber to make sure this doesn’t happen.

Surely enough the setup process takes very little time, but there’s one thing to consider before putting the application to good use, and that’s whether or not the computer you use it on is fitted with .NET Framework. On the other hand, modern Windows iterations come with it in the default set of features, so chances are it’s already on your PC.

The application might make you feel like it doesn’t mean business, but it gets you directly to the subject, with parameters configured by default so you can start the scrub process without wasting any time. The interface is pretty intuitive, with a simple drop-down menu for drive selection, as well as a button to initiate the operation.

It’s recommended to cease all other activities during the wipe process in order to avoid any accidental loss of data, and this is because all free space sectors are targeted, which might just be suddenly occupied by temporary data you don’t get to save in the process.

The application makes it possible to target both fixed and removable drives. There’s no refresh function, so it’s a good idea to first plug in the target device before you attempt to start a wipe operation. Pay attention though, because you’re only able to target NTFS file systems.

All things considered, we can state that MariusSoft Disk Scrubber is a reliable application if you want to ensure that no files can be brought back from beyond the Recycle Bin. This process is especially handy when you’re giving your old disk drive away, or simply to stay on the safe side of things.
