Securely wipe important files using Disk Redactor 1.2

August 23, 2007 in Security | Permalink

Diskredactor How many times have you worked with personal information, data or photos and simply dragged them to your trashcan, thinking that the files have been deleted from your system? They haven't and it could be embarrassing for you. Anyone who has access to your computer could quite easily use an undeletion tool to recover the files after deletion.

Disk Redactor 1.2 is a free tool that you can use to completely erase files from your machine. Instead of using your trashcan, drag or open them with Disk Redactor and it will be erased. This process works by completely overwriting the file and old data on your drive. Once overwritten, you can't retrieve the old files.
