SecureDel is a small utility that does not require installation and can be used directly from a USB drive. The program is very lightweight, very easy to use, very fast, and uses six different deletion algorithms. It does not leave any trace in the system where it acts and performs deletions in such a way that deleted files can no longer be recovered. It generates a report after each deletion to display the processing times. SecureDel 1.2.3 Released. Good Deletion!

Features

  • SecureDel 1.2.3 Released!
  • SecureDel is a Portable Utility that does not require Installation.
  • The data secure deletion algorithms are six, including DoD 7 Passes used by the United States Department of Defense, Gutman 35 Passes, and Securedelete, the latter specifically designed for all modern hard drives, including SSDs.
  • SecureDel is a very easy-to-use program with a very intuitive graphical user interface, designed to be clear and concise.
  • Implemented a specific erasure algorithm for SSD, SCM and other latest generation HDDs
  • Upon startup, SecureDel performs a scan of all disk drives, USB drives, or other mass storage devices installed or connected to the system. A detailed report by type and brand will be displayed in the main window. A targeted analysis of the hard disks installed in the system will also be performed, with a report displaying their characteristics, including used and available space.
  • SecureDel intelligently recommends the most suitable algorithm for secure, fast, and efficient data deletion based on the specific type of hard drives in the system. If the system includes multiple drives with different characteristics, SecureDel will automatically choose the most appropriate algorithm for each individual unit, ensuring optimal performance.
  • SecureDel can prepare a backup of the list of files processed for deletion. Simply enter the destination folder in the appropriate field, enable the related option, and the program will create a backup copy of the data. This procedure is very convenient when you want to sanitize your hard drive and securely store your data on an external mass storage device. Additionally, the backup process ensures that no critical files are permanently lost, giving you extra peace of mind during sensitive operations.
  • SecureDel now offers full control over the Windows Recycle Bin. You can view, manage, and even repair the Recycle Bin directly from within the application. This ensures that users can detect and fix any issues or corruption in the Recycle Bin, improving the overall functionality of the system. Whether it's recovering files or verifying if deleted files are properly stored in the Recycle Bin, this feature helps maintain a clean and efficient system.
  • Now SecureDel offer the Clipboard Monitoring: with Clipboard Monitoring, SecureDel allows you to track every change in the Windows Clipboard in real-time. This feature is particularly useful for detecting any unauthorized or unexpected activities involving the Clipboard, such as malicious programs attempting to copy sensitive data without your knowledge. SecureDel provides a detailed view of Clipboard contents, giving users more control and visibility over their system’s operations.
  • Active Tasks: In this version, a window displaying active tasks has been added, allowing direct interaction with running programs in the system. This feature is particularly useful for monitoring and closing unresponsive applications, discovering the installation folder of programs, obtaining online information for each running task, and copying the task name to the Clipboard for further analysis. All these operations can be accessed via a convenient context menu.
  • System Information: Once launched, SecureDel displays a panel containing key information about the operating system, such as the version, RAM usage, processor details, boot type, installation date, and the time since the last system reboot. Additionally, it detects the type of internet connection, and if active, displays the data transmission in KB.
  • Keyboard & Mouse: SecureDel now provides full monitoring of mouse movements and keystrokes. The service can only be activated or deactivated by the user, and once activated, a message will be displayed to confirm that monitoring has started. Additionally, an icon will always be visible on the system taskbar to keep the user informed of the ongoing monitoring.
  • Windows Utility: The project now allows users to independently repair any issues with their operating system. A new module called Windows Utility has been introduced, providing quick access to all the most important built-in system utilities, along with dedicated Windows maintenance procedures. Essentially, SecureDel consolidates all the necessary tools for system repair, maintenance, and updates into a single module. You no longer need to call a technician—SecureDel lets you handle everything on your own.
