Permadelete is a security and privacy application designed to permanently delete files and folders from your computer. It is available as both an app and a website, and it provides a secure, easy and effective way to permanently erase files beyond the point of recovery, ensuring your data is completely unrecoverable. The app uses military grade algorithms to overwrite the data, making it impossible to restore the file or folder. It is free and open source, so users can verify that the app is secure and private. It is available on Windows and macOS, and it allows users to securely delete files from their hard drive, USB drive, SD card, and other storage devices. Permadelete also provides users with the option of securely erasing their entire hard drive. It allows users to securely delete all of the data on the drive and prevent any further recovery attempts. Additionally, it can be used to securely delete the data on a USB drive or SD card. Permadelete is an ideal security and privacy solution for anyone who wants to ensure that their data is completely unrecoverable. By using military grade algorithms to overwrite the data, it guarantees that the data cannot be recovered.
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.
