Unlike other secure delete tools, the XL Delete engine goes beyond just overwriting a file. It offers security, speed, and flexibility.

SECURITY:

The engine uses the same technology used in many cryptography programs to generate the data to overwrite a file. This prevents any patterns from forming and offers the best security against file recovery software. The engine will also go beyond just wiping the file data and obfuscate the original file name to prevent recovery software from even knowing what the file was originally named.

SPEED:

Advanced buffer detection dynamically optimizes the engine settings for each file being deleted. This allows the engine to securely delete each file with the best possible settings resulting in greater speed.

FLEXIBILITY:

It features 12 built in wipe methods and gives you the ability to define your own custom wipe methods.

Securely clean all the free space on your hard drives, memory cards, usb drives, or other removable drives. Securely wiping the free space on a drive will prevent any files previously deleted from being recovered, even files that were deleted without a secure delete tool. XL Delete will overwrite all the free space on a drive which will essentially remove any data left over by any file.

Remove any old and unwanted file names from your hard drive's file table. Many of our competitors' tools leave this information behind which allow data recovery tools to get the file names of your old deleted files. XL Delete can prevent this by purging all old file names from the file table.

Securely wipe your Internet cookies, history, and temporary files. Hide all of your Internet tracks and prevent anyone from knowing what sites you have visited and what files you have downloaded.

Don't just empty the recycle bin. File recovery software can get those files back!

XL Delete can securely wipe all the files in the recycle bin and prevent file recovery software from getting your data back.
