Easy File Shredder is a security and privacy application that allows users to permanently delete files on their computer. This app securely erases all traces of permanently deleted files, including their associated file names, folder locations, and file contents. The files are not just deleted from the hard drive but are also overwritten multiple times with random data before they are permanently erased. This ensures that the data is completely unrecoverable and cannot be retrieved by any means. Easy File Shredder also offers a secure file erasure feature that allows users to securely erase entire hard drives, USB drives, and other external storage devices. The app also supports secure file deletion from cloud storage platforms, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive. Furthermore, Easy File Shredder also offers scheduled deletion, which allows users to set up a regular schedule for automatic file and folder deletion.
The discontinued DBAN was last updated in June 2015 and does not support SSD (SATA secure erase). The official website is now pushing users to use Blancco Drive Eraser, a commercial disk wiping tool.
