Delete At Date is a Windows utility that schedules individual files for automatic removal on a date you choose. Drop a file onto the window or browse for it, pick a target date, and the app deletes it when that day arrives - even if the program is closed. A scheduled task or Registry Run entry handles the timing, so cleanup happens in the background.
Files are sent to the Recycle Bin by default, or shredded with a random overwrite when Secure Delete is enabled. Before anything is removed, a CRC32 integrity check compares the file with its stored hash; if the content changed, the deletion is postponed instead of destroying unexpected data.
Safety guards block system paths, critical system files, and the running executable, and only fixed internal drives are accepted - USB, network and CD volumes are rejected. A Dry Run mode lets you preview what would happen, while retries, toast notifications, a daily log and a Dashboard keep you informed.
