Description

From the listing uploaded by “russianxbot”.

Delete and wipe out all residue from deleted files on all disks, internal and external, physical and emulated. When files and information are deleted from the disks they are not physically deleted and remain on the disks. Instead, the area occupied by them is reassigned by the OS to other future files. Thus, the deleted files are recoverable, fully or partially. The intention of this application is to completely delete and wipe out the files and information residue , so these files and information are irrecoverable. This application works as a stand alone application but, for the fastest use, advisable is to copy huge files on the disks and then run this application to delete the rest of the disks' area.
