Free up your System’s Memory with File Shredder Software

Many a times, we feel the need of removing an important file or document from our personal computer so that no one else accesses it. And usually what we do is simply delete the file or folder containing that file. At the most, we remove that file from the recycle bin and hope that we have successfully deleted it from the system’s memory. But the truth is that with some very basic data recovery tools, anyone can retrieve that supposedly permanently deleted file within minutes.

This is because simply deleting a file or document does not remove it completely from the system’s hard disk and some traces are always left. Even after file deletion, information regarding that file can be found in the registry index and in the form of temporary files. Furthermore, if that document or file is downloaded from the Internet, it can easily be re-accessed from Internet cookies, Internet history an Internet temporary files.

The only solution which then remains is to use a powerful file shredder software. As the name suggests, these software tools are similar to the paper shredder machines that are used to destroy paper documents for security purpose. However, file shredder software uses special data shredding algorithms for his purpose. An excellent example of this software is Kernel File Shredder which can completely delete files and folders from the system’s memory beyond the point of recovery. The success rate of this tool is so high that even data recovery tools which use brute force attacks fail to recover the data.

Kernel file shredder is incorporated with highly sophisticated and advanced data shredding algorithms like US Army AR380-19 (3 passes), Peter Gutmann (35 Passes), DoD 5220 + Peter Gutmann, and German VSITR (7 Passes), which make successful file deletion. The algorithms are used to overwrite the hard disk data with some combination of random bits making the deletion process absolute. Kernel File Shredder overwrites the data bits with random bits of ‘0s’ and ‘1s’ and makes several passes till the data becomes unrecognizable. This way, the system’s memory gets completely sanitized and not even a single trace of data gets left behind. Depending on the nature of content of files and folders, we can select data shredding algorithm for deletion purpose.

This fileshredder software is perfect for deleting system files and folders, temporary files, Internet temporary files, recycle bin files and folders, Internet cookies and even remove traces from the systems registry. This way, we can not only secure confidential data from wrong hands but also free up disk space by permanently deleting useless file and folders. Once the files and folders get deleted in this manner, the scope of recovering them or reusing them becomes practically zero.

Kernel file shredder software provides some additional features for users to optimize the data shredding process. With its automatic shredding feature, we can create and schedule a shredding task which will automatically start deleting the concerned files and folders even when we forget to initiate the process. In addition to this, we can also secure this file shredder software with the help of a password so that nobody else could use it in an unauthorized way.
