When a file is deleted, only a reference to the file's location is removed. In other words, the file system forgets the file ever existed. But the actual data, the 0s and 1s, still remain on disk. They will eventually be replaced by other files and data. However, this can take a long time, during which time recovery software is able to recover deleted files.
File-shredding applications like Permadelete ensure that the files/folders you delete cannot be recovered.
To delete a file or folder with Permadelete, simply drag and drop it into the application window. Permadelete will then ask you to confirm the deletion. You can also delete files or folders by selecting them and clicking on the "Shred" button in the application window.
Permadelete is a useful tool for permanently deleting sensitive files and folders. It's easy to use and offers a high level of security. OS : Windows 10 & 11
