I was looking for software using which I can remove files most securely. I’ve learnt about the new EraserDrop Portable 2.1.1. How safe is this software about the issue I’ve mentioned?
EraserDrop 2.2.1 is very reliable to use due to its distinctive features when removing files securely. EraserDrop is an icon in your desktop that floats to instantly remove any files that you drop. You can move the object by simply holding the left shift+left click the object and then drag it. The position is stored but it will be amended if it will exceed from the screen boundaries while moving from a high-resolution screen to a lower resolution one. The image of the drop target can be customize by just choosing a PNG file that you like. Place or save it on the Dataimages directory and then choose the image from the Open File dialog box. The window will be resize correspondingly. Right-click on the object to hide it. Just select Hide or press the Hotkey. To return it back, click the tray icon or use the default hotkey. View the Readme files for more information. EraserDrop is also capable of wiping your Recycle Bin and the free spaces on your hard drive.

It is an easy to use data removal tool, and also provides secure eraser tool in deleting files from your desktops or laptops. In deleting files, this program executes securely by acting as drop zone into which you can drag and drop the files you want to ensure are deleted beyond the point of recovery.

From there you can not only choose the level of erasing security you would like to use, but you can also perform additional operations such as a securely emptying the Recycle Bin and wiping free space.

If you want to delete files securely or the other term for it is shred files, CCleaner can also do it. To try it, download the free version of CCleaner and install it. Once installed, start CCleaner then go to “Tools” on the left pane and select “Drive Wiper” on the right. In “Wipe”, set it to “Free Space Only”.
In “Security”, select the number of pass you want. Selecting the default “Simple Overwrite (1 pass)” should be fine. In “Drives”, select or check the drive where you want to shred files. When you are ready, click “Wipe” to begin shredding the drive. This should securely delete all the tracks of the files you already deleted. Recovering them will not be possible.
Setting “Wipe” to “Free Space Only” will shred only the free space of the drive. Setting it to “Entire Drive (All data will be erased)” will result to the shredding of the entire drive and all its contents. This means all files and folders on the drive will be erased permanently.
