What is Shaft?

Shaft

Shaft is a handy little app that helps you get rid of unwanted files from your computer. It’s super portable, so you can take it anywhere! This is great for freeing up space and keeping your privacy safe, especially if you share your computer with others.

How Does Shaft Work?

The cool thing about Shaft is that it doesn’t just delete files; it overwrites them multiple times. This means that data recovery programs can’t get back to the original file names or content. Pretty neat, right? Plus, the options are simple enough for anyone to use, even if you're not tech-savvy!

User-Friendly Interface

You’ll love the clear-cut design of Shaft’s interface. Everything you need is in one window! It comes with several preset folders by default, like cookies and temporary Internet files. These folders are automatically included in the shredding process.

File Management Made Easy

With Shaft, you can easily see all the files in a chosen directory along with their extensions and paths. You also have the option to add specific files or entire directories to clean up. Want to refresh the list? No problem! You can also set how many times you want the app to overwrite those pesky files—anywhere from 0 to 64 times! Just keep in mind that how long this takes depends on how many files you’re working with.

No Installation Required!

The best part? Shaft comes in a portable package! You don’t need to install anything. Just drop the downloaded .exe file wherever you want on your hard drive or stick it on a USB drive and you're good to go! It won't mess with your Windows registry or create extra files without asking for permission.

Perfect for Secure Data Erasure

If you're looking for a straightforward way to securely erase sensitive photos, documents, or browsing history, then Shaft is definitely worth checking out! While it doesn't have any flashy features, its simplicity makes it easy for anyone interested in keeping their information private.
