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.		About Find the files and folders using the most space on your hard drive quickly! WizTree makes it very easy to locate and remove "Space hogs" from your hard drive. The visual treemap displays the sizes of all of your files visually, helping you to quickly locate large files and folders. Don't waste time waiting for the disk scan results. WizTree does in seconds what similar applications take minutes to do. WizTree is in active development and new features are added regularly. If you have any suggestions for new features please contact us. When scanning NTFS formatted drives, WizTree reads the hard drive's Master File Table (MFT) directly from the disk (like Everything Search does). It can also quickly scan non-NTFS and network drives. Unlike similar applications, WizTree correctly handles hard-linked files (doesn't count them more than once). The total allocated space reported by WizTree will actually match what Windows reports.

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.
