Eraser

Eraser

Erase files completely beyond recovery

Description

Deleting files and emptying the Recycle Bin leaves the data still on disk, recoverable with recovery software—what about selling a PC or handling sensitive files? Eraser truly wipes them—overwrites files multiple times so no recovery software can bring them back. It supports several industry-recognized secure-erasure standards and can schedule automatic wiping of specific files or free disk space. Secure-delete from the right-click menu. Free and open source, a safe choice for confidential files and wiping drives.

Features



Complete deletion: multi-pass overwrite so recovery software can't restore.

Multiple algorithms: supports several industry secure-erasure standards.

Scheduled wipe: schedule automatic erasure of files or free space.

Free & open: right-click secure delete, great for confidential wiping.
