Download now

A very simple utility that adds a new option to the Windows context menu (right click menu) to securely delete files and folders, using a United States Department of Defense compliant algorithm. This process will completely delete the item and it can never be recovered again.

This tool adds the right menu option but does not contains the logic for deletion. It uses SDelete of Microsoft Sysinternals written by Mark Russinovich.

It downloads SDelete from Microsoft's web site in order to work properly. If the download fails it will check if you already have SDelete in your System32 or SysWow64 folder. In case it cannot download it and dont find in the hard disk It cannot continue.

SDelete Gui ask you how many overwrite passes do you want to use.
