How to permanently delete files
There are two ways to permanently delete files:
- using 'Delete Permanently' command integrated in Windows Explorer context menu
- through Delete Files Permanently main window
To permanently delete files using program main window:
|
 Tips:
1. If you use Windows Vista, we recommend you run Delete Files Permanently as administrator so you have permissions to delete all necessary files, wipe Free Space and Recycle Bin.
If you use Windows XP/2003/2000/ME, make sure you have administrative privileges.
2. If you use anti-virus scanner that checks saved to disk files, it could slow files wiping, wiping Free Space and Recycle Bin as anti-virus scanner checks files after each overwriting/verification pass.

|
Double-click on Delete Files Permanently desktop icon
Click 'Tools' button  in the toolbar.
Select 'Delete permanently' item.
Select preferred wiping scheme from the drop-down list.
If you don't remember how this wiping scheme will destruct your file, you can use 'View scheme' button to view all passes.
|
 Note: The higher the level of shredding (the more number of passes), the more time the process takes. Unless special security is desired, the single-pass, double-pass or triple-pass wiping methods are sufficient to prevent data recovering.
|
|
Select file(s) you want to permanently delete - click 'Add file(s)' button, select necessary files and click 'Open' button.
|
Note:
 To simplify your work you may create list of files and folders you want to permanent delete at once.
To select several files, press Shift or Ctrl and select files.
|
|
Click on 'Delete Permanently' button to immediately and permanently delete selected file(s) and folder(s).
|
 Attention: Deleted files cannot be recovered.
