File Shredder

File Shredder is a handy little tool that helps you permanently delete files and folders from your computer. You won’t have to stress about someone snooping around and recovering those deleted items. It uses the US DOD (Department of Defense) 5220.22-M security algorithm, which means it wipes your data clean in a way that’s tough for recovery tools to break through.

Easy Installation

The cool thing about File Shredder is how quick and easy it is to install. There are no tricky options or extra software you need to worry about when you’re setting it up. Just download it and you’re good to go!

User-Friendly Interface

When you open File Shredder, you’ll see a straightforward window that’s easy to navigate. You can start by adding any files or folders you want to get rid of into the task list without any fuss.

Batch Processing Made Simple

You can add as many items as you like for deletion since it supports batch processing! Before you hit the shred button, there’s an option to adjust how secure the shredding process will be. You can pick from a level of safety ranging from 3 (which is fast but not super secure) all the way up to 28 (very secure but takes longer).

Remove Items Easily

If you change your mind about deleting something, don’t worry! You can easily remove any entry from the list before starting the process.

Smooth Performance

In our testing, File Shredder performed really well. It didn’t freeze or crash, and we didn’t run into any error messages either. Plus, it doesn’t hog your system resources—it runs smoothly without using too much CPU or memory.

No Recent Updates

Now, it's worth mentioning that File Shredder hasn’t seen an update in quite some time, so it may not be actively developed anymore. But don’t let that stop you! You can still download it from Softpedia and use it just fine on newer Windows versions without compatibility issues.
