Unlike most file recovery tools, Recuva can recover files from damaged or newly formatted drives. Greater flexibility means greater chance of recovery. For those hard to find files, Recuva has an advanced deep scan mode that scours your drives to find any traces of files you have deleted. Sometimes you want a file gone for good. Recuva’s secure overwrite feature uses industry- and military-standard deletion techniques to make sure your files stay erased. Advanced file recovery, virtual hard drive support, automatic updates, and premium support

About

What is deleted from the hard drive is far from gone. As long as the data is not overwritten, anyone can make it visible again at any time. This is particularly problematic when a computer is resold or given away. Secure Eraser utilizes recognized methods for data deletion and overwrites confidential information so securely that it cannot be restored even with specialized software. But that's not all: Our award-winning solution for secure data destruction also removes cross-references that could allow conclusions about the former existence of the deleted files in the allocation tables of your hard drives. The very easy-to-use Windows software overwrites sensitive data up to 35 times - whether it's files, folders, drives, the recycle bin, or browsing traces. Even already deleted files can be securely erased afterwards. In addition to overwriting with random values, Secure Eraser adheres to the guidelines of the NIST SP 800-88 standard and supports all common proven standards.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Recovers files (unless overwritten sectors). Deep scan (to search for older files). Filter to search for specific extensions. Free version good enough for home users.

Cons

  • Professional version is yearly pricing model and a bit expensive.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Free trial version that does exactly what it's supposed to; good interface, transparent process during deletion; the files are truly deleted, which can't be said of all competing products; the various deletion modes allow for all desired options.
  • I found the application easy to use, as I needed to securely wipe some old drives I'm not using anymore. I did not want to worry about security. Very presentable, simple to use & very effective.
  • I'm using Secure Eraser since 2015; this should actually say everything about the usefulness and reliability of the product!
  • The software is easy to use and includes a detailed help file that clearly explains all operating features of the program. I like that fact that Secure Eraser will permanently and irretrievably delete sensitive files/folders/drives and free space. The program is able to delete data with a choice of five levels of overwriting: these range from low up to 35 times! I found the method of overwriting files 3 or 7 times to be the most useful. The option for secure deletion of free space is particularly welcome with regard to the irretrievable deletion of files that were not securely deleted previously. I regularly used the Registry cleaning feature with no problems and the System Cleaning is a useful aspect of Secure Eraser that will delete temporary internet files, browsing history, cookies, and download details from browsers along with recent documents and recycle bin files in Windows itself.
  • The simplicity and functionality of this software makes it easy to track data destruction and generate reports for data vendors.
  • Secure Eraser is just that. Very easy to use and customize. Many algorithms to choose from that completely remove all traces of erased data. Pricing is fair and reasonable. I highly recommend the advanced version.
  • Great secure security software, ease of use, great UI, fast, secure, reasonably priced and backed by a great company.
  • I really like the different choices of security level available for each use. The product is very user friendly, and the customer support is excellent.
  • I love the fast and consistent updating and info about the updates. I also love the clean, faster machine I receive after a SECURE ERASE SYSTEM CLEANING, which I do for my computer daily, like clockwork. I have been using the SYSTEM CLEANER for years on a regular basis and it has ALWAYS worked flawlessly. You have a right to be very proud of the design and function of this winning product. Indispensable !
  • Very easy to use and cleans up your PC in no time. I use it on a daily basis before turning off my computer.
