CHAOS Shredder

CHAOS Shredder is an application aimed at users who want to permanently remove files from their local disks.

Developed to delete files once and for all, CHAOS Shredder doesn't require advanced computer knowledge.

Instead, it boasts a multi-panel GUI that gives you the power to quickly browse the local drives and select the files you want to remove.

What's more, the app also comes with drag and drop support, so a few clicks should be enough to successfully select and remove data from the hard-disk.

CHAOS Shredder supports up to 9 passes to make sure no recovery software can get back the removed files, with the total amount of time needed to complete the task ranging in between a few seconds and a couple of minutes. This also depends on the file size, of course, but in most of the cases CHAOS Shredder is a fairly quick app.

There are no other settings to play with, but instead CHAOS Shredder comes with shell integration, which means that you can always right-click the items you want to delete for a much faster removal.

CHAOS Shredder is a resource friendly software solution that works okay on all Windows flavors on the market. Only a moderate CPU usage was experienced during our testing.

To sum up, CHAOS Shredder is indeed a very effective product that comes not only with intuitive options, but also with shell integration and drag and drop support. A basic help manual is also available, but you probably don't need it since everything's so easy to use.
