File Deleter

File Deleter is a small software application developed specifically for helping you erase files permanently from your computer so they cannot be retrieved using dedicated recovery tools.

It’s easy to work with portable tools because they come with several advantages to your system. File Deleter can be saved on USB flash drives or other portable devices so you can have it with you all the time. You may open it straight from the storage device and without having to possess administrative privileges.

It takes a double-click on the executable file in order to access to the GUI because you do not have to follow the preset steps included in an installation process. You may get rid of it by deleting the file that you have downloaded from the Internet because it does not populate your Windows registry with extra entries and create additional configuration files on the host PC.

File Deleter reveals a plain design that embeds all configuration settings into a single window. Although you cannot make use of a help manual, you can quickly get an idea about how to set up deletion tasks.

Files can be imported in the working environment using only the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented). You can delete a single file so you cannot make use of batch actions.

Tests have pointed out that File Deleter carries out a task quickly and without errors. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

To sum things up, File Deleter provides nothing more than a simple software solution for helping you wipe out files for good from your PC, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.

There’s no support for advanced parameters so you cannot choose between different deletion algorithms (e.g. Gutmann, DoD 5220.22-M, Schneier, US Army AR380-19), search for files in your computer by file extension, date, and size, and wipe out the free space for the selected partition, just to name a few suggestions.
