CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This program is used to completely erase computer files and components, so caution is advised. The O&O SafeErase folder contains icons to change settings, access help, and launch TotalErase. In the 30-day trial version, it's only possible to eliminate files and folders and not all items. Right-clicking on files or folders to delete offers a secure-erase option. Skittish users will be glad to get a prompt before final deletion, which occurs instantly. There are five levels of removal, from highest security to lowest. At the highest setting, data is randomly rewritten 35 times. At the lowest, it's only done once. O&O SafeErase appears to have the appropriate safeguards in place to avoid accidental deletions, and it's fairly easy to use. Intermediate to advanced users will like the range of security options and the program's simplicity.
