TheOwner Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Hello, I still missing this function in CCleaner. There is secure delete for everything in options and wipe free space, but no file shredder for selected files and folders only. I dont need secure delete everything i have checked in CCleaner, also wipe free space heavily stress HDD. So with file shredder will be CCleaner complete. For now i must use another program to doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone wanting it will have to use another tool to accomplish it. Personally I use WipeFile to accomplish it, it's freeware and small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sets the files attributes to normal then creates a new file in its place. No file is ever overwritten. The creator's idea of the Gutmann method(ignoring 20 years old and pointless ) is to use a for loop 35 times using an ineffective buffer. The code is utter garbage.
