Safely erase files, folders and disk partitions from your PC

Sometimes deleting a file in Windows is not enough. The data could be easily recovered with special software apps and you need to avoid that with sensitive data.

With O&O SafeErase you can rest assured that your deleted files won't be recovered. This program lets you wipe files, folders, disk partitions or even the whole hard drive in just a couple of clicks, using safe deletion methods that render recovery apps totally useless. Besides deleting files and folders, O&O SafeErase now also lets you delete temporary Internet files (cookies, history, data saved in forms and the likes) safely, thus protecting your privacy.

O&O SafeErase features a nicely designed interface with a main area (the so called Start page) where you can select the task you want to perform: delete files and folders, Internet files, temporary Windows files or disk partitions. Two other options (freeing disk space and deleting the whole computer) are not available in the demo version.

O&O SafeErase does an efficient job, though it can take a while depending on how many elements you've marked for erasing. You have the option of simulating file deletion before actually getting rid of the data, and can also save a report with details about the job. Plus there are six deletion methods to choose from, from the most secure one (in which data are overwritten by 35 different cycles) to the simplest one, where selected files are overwritten by zeros.

With O&O SafeErase you can easily erase sensitive data, including Internet files, in a few steps and make sure it's not recovered.

  • Cons

    • Make sure you know what you're erasing because there's no way to recover it!

Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
