Catalano Secure Delete Description

Erasing files from your computer by simply pressing the 'Delete' key or sending them to the Recycle Bin does not completely destroy the traces of their presence on your system and therefore, such file can easily be recovered using dedicated software. Catalano Secure Delete aims to provide you with a solution to this matter, offering a comfortable means to having your private files erased for good, without the possibility to retrieve them. With support for multiple data sanitization methods, this application helps you make sure that your files and folders don't end up in the wrong hands, once they are removed from your computer. As far as the usage is concerned, the program shouldn't pose any problem, even to beginner users. Its interface is neatly organized, enabling you to easily browse for the files you want to erase. The main advantage of this application is the range of deletion algorithms that it relies on. From simple data overwriting methods to more complex ways to erasing the content of a whole hard drive, you can choose the one that better suits your needs. Data can be overwritten in a single pass with zero or pseudo-random values, while other erasing methods are used by important institutions, such as the US Department of Defense or the US Army. Among the supported methods, you can also find the Schneier, the Pfitzner and the Gutmann algorithms, which are known to be some of the most efficient data wiping techniques. For instance, the Gutmann procedure securely deletes the contents of a computer's hard drive by writing a series of 35 patterns over the target section. Catalano Secure Delete bundles several data clearing options, providing a secure way to get rid of files and folders in your computer. It practically shreds the data and the only better alternative to this is physical destruction of the storage medium. Reviewed by Mihaela Citea, last updated on November 20th, 2013
