Permanently Delete Your Data Using CrapCleaner

One user at Kalibog asks us if there is a way he could delete he’s files without being recovered again by any means. I said yes there is actually a feature bundled in CrapCleaner that allows him to do that. Why bother installing a separate software just for this purpose alone, when CrapCleaner has this feature already. For only around 400kb of download size, now you can have your own personal file shredder completely for FREE.

CrapCleaner’s Secure Deletion offers three levels of data shredding. From the basic form of secure deletion to the

Simple Overwrite (1 pass)

This is the most common form of secure deletion. Retrievable and unreliable.

DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes)

U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) standard for hard drive sanitization as specified in the 5220.22-M operating manual

NSA (7 passes)

This is for the paranoid user, developed by the National Security Agency of the United States of America for the purpose of deleting critical files.

Ok now let’s delete those pesky files.

1. Install and open CrapCleaner
2. Go to Options
3. Click the Settings Button
4. Under the secure deletion choose Secure file deletion (Slower)
5. Then select your preferred level of secure deletion
