In our continued effort to make this work with KitKat, we have had mixed results.  So, if you are running KitKat, it may or may not work for you until I get time to investigate the issues with some phones. But, it's a free app with no ads and works for most people.
Please provide feedback to the developer rather than giving a low rating so that I can fix whatever is wrong. Also feel free to suggest improvements. Thank you.
It is possible to forensically extract information from a smart phone using mobile forensic tools such as Cellebrite and XRY even after it has been deleted. This utility can help to prevent that from happening by sanitizing the free space on a phone. Similar functionality can be found on desktop machines using utilities like CCleaner, Eraser, and File Shredder.  If you are afraid of the government peeking at your phone and extracting and reconstructing deleted files, this is the app that you want.
This application does not delete files or clean the cache. Use other tools  to delete files and clean the cache.  Then use this utility to sanitize the free space.  
Although we cannot guarantee that all free space will be sanitized, this application finds all of the free space that Android will give us in three primary areas where data is normally stored and overwrites it as completely as the phone will allow:
1. System - This is the protected data area shared by all applications. 
2. SD Card - On some phones this is the actual SD Card and on others it is emulated SD Card space.
3. Optional SD Card - On some phones this is the actual SD Card and many other phones do not have this space. Samsung phones typically put the real external SD Card here.
To run the application:
1. Make sure that the phone has good battery/wall power.
2. Put a checkmark next to the sections of memory to sanitize.
3. Press the Start Wiping button.
4. Do not use the phone while the application is working.
The status area will indicate how the process is going.
Some have complained that after a wipe, they sometimes still see old files that were deleted using other apps.  In my investigation I have found that the overwhelming majority of files are overwritten but occassionally one file is left intact.  Also, sometimes you have thumbnail files of pictures in a database and you need to delete that file as well before running Secure Wipe  Android does not always allow us to write to every free sector. Watch the statistics as it is overwriting to see if the free space count goes to 0 as it is writing. Also run the app more than once to get more thorough wiping since SD cards rotate their sectors in and out of service.
Many SD cards rotate blocks of memory in and out of use for wear leveling.  As a result, it is possible that after sanitizing memory there could be some blocks that get rotated back in to use that were never sanitized.  To mitigate this possibility, run this application twice which statistically will usually hit all blocks of memory. 
This application has not been tested on all phones.  Please provide feedback to the developer about any problems.  It has been found to work on Samsung Galaxy S2, S3, S4 and Victory phones, the HTC Arrive and others.  System space takes several minutes to sanitize and 8GB SD Cards can take up to half an hour.  If the application is aborted before it finishes, there may be large files left on the phone. If this happens, simply reboot the phone and bring the application up and it will automatically look for these files and delete them at startup.

    I like the idea and it looks simple. However I am notified that it's for an older version of Android. I have Android 10 and I hope you understand I'm not going to trust an app that could potentially damage files because of incompatibility issues.

    Your app won't open the way it acts I'm sure no one can use it when you try to open it it will shut down doesn't even desere one star

    I used this app since my very first Android phone (the Android 4.0 one). Now with my Android 7 phone this app still simple, tiny, yet effective!, although it's outdated. (Despite some of my old phones can't even used this app and crashed everytime I opened because it was incompatible with those phones, but it's okay it's not app fault anyway.) 😊

    This app appears to work on my device. Fills up free space I think / hope but I'm sure I need to reboot to free up the overwritten free space. I've no idea whether free space is written over securely though. I give it 3 stars so far, but will need to test it with some file recovery software. Can anyone tell me what the best file recovery software is please?

    Seems legit. UI isn't the most straight forward, but the help section was detailed and useful. It didn't take very long (perhaps as my phone lacks much storage) and I did not require a restart. If this really deleted such data (which I will try), I would recommend. Tiny app size, no network usage, super fast.

    Doesn't even launch on Android 11 . Junk!

    Said that it sanitized and done. Strange fact is it does not take a long time..... Which contradicts it's warning message that "sanitized can take as long time" Thanks for the free app. Vin
