Kernel File Shredder

Kernel File Shredder is a handy cleaning tool that helps you get rid of files and folders for good on your computer. This means they can’t be recovered using any recovery software. So if you need to make sure your sensitive files are really gone, this app is for you!

Secure Cleaning Made Easy

This utility is all about wiping out stuff stored on your hard drive, including system files, things sitting in the Recycle Bin, and even junk files. It can also clean up free disk space so no traces are left behind.

Control with a Master Password

You’ll need to set a master password before diving into the program's features. This extra layer of security ensures that others can’t mess with your settings or delete anything without your say-so.

Create Your Own Deletion List

With Kernel File Shredder, you can build a list of all the files and folders you want to delete. If you change your mind, it’s easy to remove items from this list or even export it to keep track of what you've cleaned up. Plus, you can import this data later when you're ready for another cleanup session.

Choose Your Cleanup Method

You have options when it comes to secure cleaning algorithms! Whether it's Zeros (1 Pass), DoD 5220 (3 Passes), German VSITR (7 Passes), or Peter Gutmann (35 Passes), you get to pick how thoroughly you'd like to shred your files.

Manage Your Files Efficiently

The app shows everything that’s been sent to the Recycle Bin so you can easily delete them from there too. You can wipe system files and even free disk space so no one can recover old data. There's also filtering by file extension if you're looking for something specific!

Schedule Your Cleanup Tasks

You can set tasks in advance! Just specify which files and folders should be shredded beyond recovery—including temporary items from Windows and internet traces like cookies. You also have the option to clear out the contents of the Recycle Bin.

Your Preferences Matter

You have total control over scheduling these tasks—daily, weekly, or monthly at any time that suits you best. And remember, choosing your preferred deletion algorithm is just a click away! Plus, there are some neat settings for default shredding methods and creating log files.

User-Friendly Interface

All in all, Kernel File Shredder offers an easy-to-use interface with various secure cleaning options. It works great whether you're just starting out or already know what you're doing!
