Fast Folder Eraser Pro

Deleting a folder or two is not a difficult task, not by far. However, if a directory stores thousands of files, deleting it might have an impact on your PC's smoothness. If you are in the position where you must delete hefty folders, while using your PC, you should consider professional help. Fast Folder Eraser Pro is a compact tool that allows one to delete large folders without sacrificing time and computer resources in the process.

Fast Folder Eraser Pro serves a simple purpose, thus having an over-complicated UI would not be feasible, especially for casual or less-technical users. The interface is split into two main segments, Main and Settings. The Main tab is only for loading folders. You can set up one directory for deletion, or a bunch of them, depending on one's needs.

As for the Settings tab, that's where the heart of the matter is. You should start by visiting the General subsection. This area offers you multiple options related to the app's behavior when running. For example, one can choose to send the app to the tray when running, shut down the PC after the process is finished, or pay a beep sound for the same reason.

The next in line is the Deletion subsection. This branches out even more to cover filters, and exclusion. File matching properties and, of course, the deletion methods. The program is also capable of acting as a shredder, making the files within the erased folders unrecoverable. The user can go with the standard file deletion protocol, or choose a secure one such as One Pass, DoD (3 passes), NSA (7 passes), and Gutman (35 passes) — where passes are the number of rewrites applied to a file's binary code.

To conclude, Fast Folder Eraser Pro is a neat tool designed to help users with deleting large folders without the slow-down effects this type of action does to a computer. Simply put, this tool will let you use your PC while the operating system is working to delete directories with dozens or hundreds of GBs.
