Description

File Shredder is an application (or website) designed to securely delete files from a computer system. It works by overwriting the file with random data so as to make it impossible to recover the original content. It can be used to permanently remove sensitive or confidential data from a computer, to ensure it can’t be accessed again. The application is intended to provide a higher level of security than simply deleting a file with the operating system, as the data is irrecoverable. Some File Shredder applications also delete internet cookies, browser history and temporary files.
