Developer’s Description

By Cezeo Software

Prevent restoration of the old files in disks.

Disk Redactor is WIPE utility, that prevent restoration of the old ( deleted ) files at your disks. All free space at your hard disk will be wiped from an old information. This is necessary because the delete function does not clear the space where deleted file is located and just mark the entry in directory ( folder ) that the file is deleted. But actually all information about the file is presented at the disk and can be restored! Old information will be available until the other file will overwrite it ( will use the same space at the disk ).

DOES NOT WORK

Pros
doesn't damage files/filesystem
Cons
doesn't really do anything but waste time
Summary
I hate to say it, but i tested it out on an NTFS partition (windows 8, separate test on Win7)(SATA-II hard disk). first i filled it with pictures and texts, formatted, then tested to see if i could recover with recovery software (recover my files). it did 99%. Then, i used disk redactor on the partition, let it complete, and ran "recover my files" again. It took a little longer, but it found over 9000 individual files, with about 7500 COMPLETE (no missing bytes). on the bright side, it did no damage to any of my files that were NOT deleted (separate drive)
works without interfering with win xp

Pros
I don't really have a way to determine if Redactor has written over all the unused disk space. I think it does. But it has been safe, and has not damaged my windows installation on three computers. That's four out of five stars right there.
Cons
No way to confirm it has done its job.
Summary
I use it because it is hard to find a program to wipe unused disk space. I had a bootable diskette program that performed this service. It's pretty old now (dos based). So I appreciate that this publisher is providing a service most folks don't realize is needed. I've used it with Windows XP computers only. I've used it to clean up SCSI, ATA, and SATA drives. It has never caused XP to complain. Disk Redactor may deserve FIVE stars. I'm just not up to confirming the job's done or not.
