Robusta File Shredder is an application (or website) designed to securely and permanently delete files from a computer or other digital device. It does this by using a process called 'data shredding', which overwrites the data multiple times to ensure that it cannot be recovered. This is especially important for people who want to securely delete sensitive data such as personal information or financial records. The application works by allowing users to select the files they want to delete and then selecting the level of security they want the files to be deleted with. It then securely shreds the files and completely removes any traces of the data from the device. The application also offers advanced features such as the ability to delete free space on a device, which ensures that previously deleted data cannot be recovered.
Discontinued The program is no longer updated. The latest version, 2.50, released in 2012, can still be downloaded from the official website.
The discontinued development approach was moved to http://alternativeapp.info/software/context-shredder/.
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.
