Privacy - Use Disk Redactor to Remove Traces of Old Deleted File Data from your Drives
Posted by: Barry Cleave in Portable Freeware, tags: File Deletion, Freeware, Portable Application, Portable Freeware, PortableApps, Programs, Security, Software, Utilities, Windows, WIndows Vista, Windows XP
What’s This About?
CyberShredder is another very small portable application which is designed to remove all traces of old file data from your hard disks. It does not touch any existing files or the files in the recycle bin. This is very useful to ensure that files that have not been securely deleted cannot be recovered.
Why Would You Want It?
As noted under the previous post Privacy – Use CyberShredder to Securely Delete Files & Folders :-
When Windows deletes files from your hard disk using the standard delete or cut/paste methods it does not erase all the file details, just the index entry. So the file is still there you just can’t see it. There are plenty of free, portable programs available to recover such files ( see Recuva - Easy and Quick Way to Recover Deleted Photos and Files). Over time the “deleted” file may be overwritten by new files but this could be slow and is a random process. If you need to make sure personal details or other sensitive information is erased, for instance if you want to sell a hard drive or your old computer, then you need a program like CyberShredder.
Disk Redactor provides the complimentary piece of software to CyberShredder by “wiping” the areas of the disk that may contain information from files not deleted by a secure method.
What Does It Do - The Essentials?
Summary:
- Overwrites unused disk space
- Securely erase single or multiple folders
- Uses different methods depending on level of security
Pros: What’s Good?
Features & Benefits
- Freeware
- Portable
- Easy to Use
Cons:What’s Not So Good?
- Installer only download
- Options are not available “grayed out” **
- Can’t select multiple drives
** This was not a problem in an earlier version – see post for more details

Don’t bother with Disk Redactor, it does not work. To prove it get a copy of File Scavenger.
Create and erase whatever file you want. Use Disk Redactor to supposedly erase deleted
files. Then use File Scavenger to recover the deleted file. Sorry, folks, its more internet crapware.
