Free Space Wipe

Free Space Wipe is a handy tool that helps you permanently delete files from your computer. You might think that when you delete something and empty your Recycle Bin, it's really gone, right? Well, not quite! The space where those files were is just marked for new data, meaning they can often be recovered with special software.

Why Use Free Space Wipe?

This software is designed to ensure that those deleted files are truly gone. It works by wiping the space where the files used to be, making it impossible for recovery tools to bring them back. This can be super helpful if you're looking to clean up your computer or if you're planning on selling or giving away a hard drive.

Installation and Features

Getting started with Free Space Wipe is easy! After a quick installation, you just choose which drive you want to wipe. There are three methods available:

• Overwrite the space with All 1's


• Overwrite with All 0's


• Use blocks of random binary data (up to 1GB in size)

The last method can take a bit longer since it might need to create random blocks of data. If you're using the background wallpaper as a source, it can speed things up!

What Drives Can It Clean?

This program works on all kinds of drives—whether they're network drives, temporary folders, or regular drives. Just keep in mind that wiping network drives might take more time because it depends on your internet speed. If the drive is connected directly to your PC, though, things usually go faster!

A Note on Security

The developers say that Free Space Wipe does a great job at stopping common recovery programs from getting back those deleted files. However, it's important to remember that advanced agencies (like the CIA or FBI) might still be able to recover things if they really wanted to. So if you're planning on selling your drive and want peace of mind about your personal info being safe, this tool could be just what you need!
