Want to securely delete sensitive documents without emptying your entire Trash? Or need to quickly erase large files permanently from your Mac or any external devices such as a USB stick to free up space? FileShredder provides a simple solution for deleting anything right away from your computer.
★ Right-click (secondary click) on any file or folder and select "Shred" or "Secure Shred" to delete the item(s) immediately. No app launching is required! (Start the app at least once to enable.)
★ Or, drag-and-drop files to the application icon on the dock. Configure in Preferences whether to delete securely or not.
★ A counter on the dock icon indicates the number of items remaining for deletion; a sound can optionally be played when done.
★ Choose in Preferences one of three algorithms for secure deletion: 1 pass (fastest), 7 DoD-compliant passes, or 35 pass Gutmann deletion (safest).
★ Press ⌘Q to abort further deletion.
