XL Delete is a powerful secure delete tool that will permanently delete your files
using its powerful secure wipe engine. XL Delete can permanently remove any
type of file, entire folders, and even your Internet Explorer and Firefox cookies,
history, and cache files.
Why use XL Delete?
Many people believe that emptying the recycle bin will delete a file forever. This
is not true, when you delete a file and empty it from the recycle bin, the file is in
fact still on your hard drive. The only thing that happens when you empty the
recycle bin is that Windows marks the area where the file is on the hard drive as
overwriteable so that it can reuse the space when necessary. This allows special
data recovery software to be able to actually undelete the file and view all of its
original contents.
When you delete a file with XL Delete, the file data will actually be overwritten
several times using specialized methods to prevent data recovery software from
being able to undelete the file. XL Delete will also incorporate several
obfuscation techniques to hide the original file name and file size from data
recovery software.
You can be assured that once you delete a file with XL Delete, it will be gone for
good.
