secure erase - Data Shredder software



We use "eraser" and "o&o safe erase" to shred important documents on hard disk.
Does anyone use another software in Windows for wiping, what are the advantages ?
Thank you very much.


Answer



SysInternals SDelete works on files as well as free space. It's a simple command line app, but it works as well as anything else for secure deletion of files. Also, see the previous question about secure deletion here. Also, about drive-level secure delete.


Just saw this item. Apparently, when an SSD is involved, existing data destruction techniques might not work so well.
