Hardwipe 5.2.1

Hardwipe is a powerful file deletion tool that ensures your deleted files cannot be recovered. Unlike simply emptying your Windows Recycle Bin, Hardwipe provides a more secure method of permanently deleting files.

If you are concerned about the security of your personal data when selling or disposing of an old computer, Hardwipe can give you peace of mind. By using this app, you can prevent anyone from searching your old drive for sensitive information or files.

Hardwipe offers three main functions: wiping specific files, wiping an entire drive, or cleaning your free hard drive space. You can choose between high or low priority, depending on your system resources, and select the type of data wiping you prefer. The app provides a range of data wiping algorithms, from a simple data-randomizing wipe to an extremely secure 35-pass deletion.

Easy to use and effective, Hardwipe delivers on its promises. However, it is important to note that if your PC is shared and the normal login has Administrator rights, Hardwipe can cause significant damage if used maliciously or carelessly. We recommend installing Hardwipe only on an account that requires an Administrator login.

It is worth mentioning that Hardwipe is not a cleaning app for basic PC spring cleaning. For that purpose, we suggest using CCleaner.

Overall, Hardwipe is a reliable and user-friendly tool for permanently deleting files. Its secure data deletion capabilities make it an excellent choice for those who prioritize data privacy and security.
