Lavasoft File Shredder 2009 for Windows 10 - Full description
Lavasoft File Shredder is a Windows utility for people who want to make selected files harder to recover after deletion. Ordinary deletion usually removes a file's directory entry rather than immediately erasing its contents, so recovery software may be able to retrieve the data. The program overwrites file data as part of its secure deletion process, and can be used for documents, spreadsheets, presentations, music, videos and photos that contain private or confidential information.
Files can be sent to the desktop Shredding Bin, which provides a direct way to choose items for removal. Drag-and-drop support offers another route for adding files. The program also includes a DoD-style method that makes seven overwrite passes, along with other advanced shredding standards. These methods are intended to reduce the chance of recovering deleted data; the appropriate choice depends on the sensitivity of the files and the computer's storage hardware.
Beyond individually selected files, File Shredder can remove temporary files and clean computing history, including internet activity and instant-messenger chat history. It can also detect and remove previous versions that Windows Vista saved in the background. A reporting option records which files have been shredded, giving users a way to review the cleanup afterward. These additional tools make it useful for periodic privacy maintenance as well as one-off deletion of sensitive material.
Typical uses include clearing private work documents before passing a computer to someone else, removing downloaded files containing personal information, and cleaning up browsing or chat traces. Secure deletion is not a substitute for encrypting sensitive files while they are stored, and overwrite-based methods may not behave as expected on every storage device, particularly solid-state drives. Users should check their drive type and retain any files they may need before shredding, since the intended result is irreversible removal.
The software is trialware and was designed for older Windows releases, including Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Its interface is available in English, Swedish and German. Its age and stated operating-system range mean that compatibility with current Windows systems should not be assumed; users should verify that it runs correctly on their computer before relying on it for sensitive data.
