12Ghosts Shredder

Whenever you delete files that contain sensitive information, you should make sure they are permanently erased and can’t be recovered with specialized programs. 12Ghosts Shredder is a tool designed to securely delete files from the computer.

The app comes with a simple, basic interface, based on tabs created for each available task and their respective settings.

It supports a few actions that aim to free the computer of unwanted files and items that hold personal or confidential details. The shredder uses a special algorithm that overwrites files until the data contained is beyond recovery, even when specialized software is used.

Files can be added by browsing the computer, either as individual items or as entire folders.

When a hard disk format is performed, files aren’t always deleted completely and they can still be recovered. This app offers a solution to this issue by performing a “disk sanitization”, which means that all the information is erased completely. 12Ghosts Shredder offers multiple options for this process. You can wipe the empty areas, clear the unused space at the end of file, remove old names or clear all of the above.

The app allows you to customize the way it works. For example, you can choose the number of passes the software performs on the files in order to securely delete them. The higher the number you set, the less probable it is that they can be recovered.

The app supports various languages, such as English, French, Russian, German, Japanese, Spanish, Swedish, Chinese, Italian, Romanian, Greek, Finnish, Czech, Norwegian, Icelandic, Portuguese and Danish.

All in all, 12Ghosts Shredder is a useful tool that can come in handy when you need to permanently delete private files. The interface is easy to use and less experienced users should have no problems working with this software. However, the software also has advanced options for users who have worked with this type of apps before.
