How to Use PCBooster Free File Shredder to Shred Files?
Step 1Choose File Option
Launch PCBooster Free File Shredder and choose "File" from options of 3 kinds of objects to delete: File, Folder & Recycle Bin for example.
Tip: usually we use Delete to remove files or folders to the Recycle Bin, then empty it; or just press Shift + Delete. Our file shredder can shred both files, folders (subfolders included) as well as erase the data in your Recycle Bin.
Step 2Select Files to Erase
Click "Next" to go to the second step. Click "Add..." to choose one or more files you need to erase. Click "Open" and the selected files will be displayed in the "Files" pane. Click "Remove" or "Clear" to remove one or all selected files from the pane.
Tip: you can erase files of any types. So check the file name, location and size of the files you want to delete because once you shred them, there is no chance to get them back.
Step 3Choose Erasing Method
There are 3 ways to delete
the file.
Quick delete
- Overwrites the files with pseudorandom data
Secure delete in accordance with
DoD 5220.22-M - Deletes files in compliance
with US Department of Defense regulation DoD
5220.22-M
Secure delete, Gutmann
method - Deletes files using the method
developed by Peter Gutmann. This method is considered
extremely secure, but is comparatively slow.
Choose one of the methods to delete the
file.
To customize the number
of deletion times, you can click the
button to increase/decrease the number. You
can also directly enter a figure to specify
the number of repeats (the bigger the number,
the smaller the chance of recovery). Click
"Next" to start erasing.
Tip: why should you shred files? Maybe you have deleted your files and thought no one could access them, but the truth is you are wrong in that particular thinking. There are tons of software that can bring them back to your hard drive. So if you have something that you want unrecoverably gone, you should use a file shredder.
