Master Shredder

You may be wondering if the files you delete in Windows are really gone, after cleaning up the recycle bin. The answer is no. That's because those files are still present on the hard disk clusters and are just hidden from the operating system.

This may become a problem when selling your computer or your hard disk, as anybody can recover your personal and private data using a specialized recovery software. To avoid this, you should use an application which can wipe your hard disk data, making it impossible to recover using specialized software. A program which can help you in this situation is Master Shredder.

As the name clearly states, this Windows application was created for helping you shred all your files and folders, thus removing them completely from the hard disk, without the chance of being recovered. After the program is installed, an icon is placed on the desktop, on which the user can just drag and drop the files and folders that should be removed, just like using Recycle Bin.

Alternatively, one can launch the application and can import the desired files and folders directly into its interface for being removed. An unlimited number of files and folders can be added to the program. From the Options section of Master Shredder, the user will be able to change the wiping method and choose a more secure one. Having a more secure wiping method will require more time for a file to be removed, but will do the job more efficiently.
