In the eventuality that you are sharing the computer or a USB stick with your other people, then there is a high chance that you are deleting your personal files on a regular basis. However, if you want to make sure that the data is irretrievable, then you should consider using a permanent delete solution.

FileWing Shredder is a lightweight application designed to help you permanently delete files and data from your computer in a secure way so that they become unrecoverable.

The setup is as easy as it gets and it entails following general steps, such as choosing a location and specifying whether you want a shortcut on the desktop or in the Startup menu. Upon launch, you are asked to activate the software by specifying your name and an email address.

The program comes with a sleek and stylish interface that consists of a dashboard and a viewing panel. While the dashboard pane acts as a summary of the functions you are able to access or perform, the viewing are is where you can select additional parameters to permanently delete files from your drives.

It is necessary to mention that the application enables you to select the deletion algorithm to delete your data. While the tool only provides you with 3 choices in this sense (DOD (E), DOD (ECE) and Sneider), you should know that these algorithms are quite efficient in making the data irretrievable.

For instance, the Sneider algorithm makes sure the files are removed by overwriting the data 7 times in a row. After using ones and zeros for the first two sessions, it employs random characters for the rest of the sequels.

In case you share your computer with other users or want to be sure your sensitive data is permanently erased and cannot be recovered, then FileWing Shredder might be the utility worth trying out.
