Secure Wipe

Secure Wipe is a free simple tool capable of erasing your sensitive data in a permanent and safe way.

It offers you some of the most sophisticated algorithms to shred whatever files and folders you need to get rid of. Once erased, the data becomes completely unrecoverable, making any data recovery tool completely useless.

Knowing that the only way of successfully erasing a file or folder from your system is by overwriting it with new data, Secure Wipe makes use of various old and new algorithms that write – using various patterns –new unreadable information over the clusters occupied by your data. These erasing algorithms include the Gutmann method, RCMP, US DoD E, Ones, and Pseudorandom, which may perform from just one pass to 35 passes (Gutmann algorithm) for extra security. The number of passes per file can be personalized easily for each shredding method.

The program can be set to erase a single file or a folder and its subfolders. The process could not be simpler, easier, and safer. Thus, the interface provided can be used by all kinds of users, as it does not require you to have any specific skills to benefit from it. However, a basic knowledge about the erasing methods provided may help you to make the most of Secure Wipe’s capabilities.
