What is Context-Shredder?

Context-Shredder

Context-Shredder is a handy tool that helps you delete files for good. You might think that deleting a file is super easy—just send it to the recycle bin or hit Shift+Delete, right? But here’s the kicker: even when you think you’ve permanently deleted something, it’s still sitting on your drive, just waiting to be found again! Unless you keep adding new stuff, those deleted files can often be recovered.

Why Use Context-Shredder?

If you're planning to sell or give away your hard drive, it's smart to wipe all your personal data first. Sure, regular deletion makes it harder for someone to recover your files, but why take chances? A dedicated program like Context-Shredder can make sure your data is gone for good.

The Benefits of Using This Software

This software comes as part of a duo along with another tool called Erase-Wizard. Context-Shredder quickly wipes out various file types—those pesky temporary files, browser history, and even things in the recycle bin.

Customizing Your Erase Options

Erase-Wizard, on the other hand, lets you pick and choose exactly what files and folders you want to delete. It’s all about having control over what stays and what goes!

Multiple Algorithms at Your Fingertips

You’ll find plenty of options in the Erase Settings. There are different algorithms available that vary in how complex they are. Some methods are really simple while others go all out with advanced processes like the Gutmann method. The more complex an algorithm is, the longer it takes to finish erasing everything. Usually, three passes do the trick, but some can take up to 70!

A Quick Example

If you’re wondering how long it takes to erase something big—like a 170MB file—it only took about a minute using the US Army AR380-19 option!. Plus, this tool can erase files from subdirectories and even take care of locked files when rebooting.

If you're serious about wiping out data completely from your disk with no traces left behind, then Context-Shredder has got your back!
