Full Wipe

Full Wipe is a handy tool for anyone who wants to make sure their deleted files are truly gone. Just hitting the delete button doesn’t mean your data is off the grid. A bit of that data can stick around in clusters, and sneaky apps can pull it back up. With Full Wipe, you can rest easy knowing that it uses strong algorithms to overwrite those bits of data, making them unreadable.

Lightweight and User-Friendly

This application is pretty lightweight! It won’t take up much time to set up or learn how to use it. The main window is simple and compact, showing just a few functions that make things easy. You’ll see a drop-down menu with all your connected external memory devices and a progress slider so you know when everything's done.

Targeting External Devices Only

Don’t be misled by the name; Full Wipe only works on external devices connected through USB. You can’t wipe your physical hard drive with it! But once you plug in your drive, the app detects it right away and shows its letter in that drop-down menu. Plus, there’s a handy “Scan” button in case anything unexpected happens.

Selecting Your Wipe Method

After you pick your device, there’s not much left to do! You can choose from four different wipe rounds—one, two, or even seven rounds. The more rounds you pick, the harder it becomes for anyone to recover any data from that drive. You can also set it to wipe until you hit the “Stop” button.

Your Data is Safe!

No matter what file system your drive uses, Full Wipe completely removes all data! However, it can be tricky to know exactly when the process wraps up since there’s no confirmation message at the end. The status bar indicates it's ready but might confuse you because you can still use or format the drive while it's wiping.

A Solid Choice for File Removal

In conclusion, Full Wipe does a good job at getting rid of files for good! While using it is super easy and straightforward, some little details could improve the experience—like having an alert system when everything's finished wiping.
