Description
SafeIT File Shredding version 7.5.1 is an essential tool developed by SafeIT Security for anyone looking to permanently erase files and folders from their computer, ensuring that deleted data cannot be recovered. This free application targets the Security domain, with a focus on Privacy.
With SafeIT File Shredding, users can completely destroy selected information on their hard drives and other storage devices. The software's capabilities extend to shredding individual files, clearing the recycle bin, deleting temporary files, wiping unused disk space, and even erasing Internet history. Interestingly, when regular deletion practices are employed, such as emptying the recycle bin or formatting the hard drive, the information is only partially removed and thus recoverable with commonly available software tools. To prevent this, SafeIT File Shredding uses sophisticated algorithms to overwrite files multiple times, ensuring the data is irretrievable.
The application file, SITFileShredding.exe, has a compact size of only 7.9 MB, making it a lightweight yet powerful addition to your security toolkit. Supported operating systems include Windows 7, 10, and 11, ensuring a broad range of users can benefit from its features. Previous versions like 7.5 also remain available for those who may need compatibility with older systems. Additionally, SafeIT File Shredding supports 11 different shredding algorithms, catering to varying levels of security needs. These include recognized standards like HMG Infosec Standard 5, the DOD 5220.22-M, and Peter Gutmann's algorithm. More
