iShred Express is an application that allows users to securely and permanently delete files from their computer, smartphone, and tablet devices. It is designed to protect users’ confidential information and privacy by permanently removing files from the device and ensuring they cannot be recovered. It uses a “shredding” method to delete files, which utilizes a multi-pass overwriting algorithm to make sure that the deleted data cannot be recovered by any means. It also provides users with the option to securely delete any storage medium, including external hard drives, USB drives, and memory cards. The application also offers a secure deletion of browser cookies, history, and cache, as well as a file shredder for permanently erasing confidential documents. The app also allows users to schedule automatic shredding of files, and also provides users with the option to securely delete any online data, such as social media accounts, emails, and cloud-based accounts.
