Mutilate File Wiper

If you are concerned about the security of your sensitive files, you should know that normal file deletion is NOT secure. When a file is deleted, the file system's pointer to the file is removed, but ALL THE DATA REMAINS ON YOUR HARD DRIVE. This means that the remaining data can be easily recovered with data recovery or forensic software. Even if you overwrite files, they may still be vulnerable to advanced recovery techniques that analyze latent magnetic traces.

This is where Mutilate File Wiper comes in. This file shredder or file eraser is specifically designed to securely delete sensitive files. With Mutilate, you can prevent attempts to recover sensitive deleted files from your hard drive by data recovery or forensic software.

Mutilate works by overwriting all bits in selected files, including cluster slack space, with binary 1's, 0's, and / or random bit patterns. You can choose from three security levels and a customizable level with up to 297 overwrite passes. Mutilate also supports complete folder deletions, including subfolders.

If you want to further ensure the security of your files, Mutilate's disk free space wiper allows you to destroy previously deleted files on your hard drive. Additionally, you can store up to thirteen folders in Power Mutilator for quick access to files or folders you target routinely.

Overall, Mutilate File Wiper is a powerful and effective software tool for securely deleting sensitive files. Its various security features make it a great choice for anyone looking to protect their confidential data.
