Secure Delete

Secure Delete is a handy tool that helps you make sure certain files are gone for good. We all know how easy it is to accidentally delete something important or lose files because of nasty software or broken disks. That's why there are plenty of recovery apps out there, but sometimes you need a way to delete files permanently.

How Secure Delete Works

This app makes it super simple to start the deletion process. You can either use the built-in explorer to find the file you want to erase, or just drag and drop it into the main window. It automatically fills in the path for you—easy peasy!

Single File Deletion

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Secure Delete only lets you delete one file at a time. After you click that delete button, there's no message popping up to tell you if it worked; the app just closes right after. It would be nice if they could add an option to access this from the context menu for quicker use.

Core Functionality

The main job of this app is to give you peace of mind by ensuring those deleted files are truly gone forever. Everything fits neatly into a compact main window, making it user-friendly.

Confirmation and Methods

Before hitting that “Yes” button to start deleting, you'll have to check a confirmation box first. You can even set how many times you'd like to use the Gutmann Method—up to 999 times! The more times you do this process, the harder it becomes for any recovery apps out there to find those deleted files later on.

A Trustworthy Tool

All things considered, Secure Delete is a reliable little utility that gets rid of your files permanently. While it might not have every feature under the sun, it still does its job well and quickly.
