Permanent Delete for Windows

User Reviews

• Seem to do like described but no shell integration

  DynVApril 30, 2017

  Pros

  Once file dragged in window then deleted using the default 1-pass, the file doesn't show in the recycling bin. There's options with different pass #, I'm assuming the file is overwritten, making it harder to recover (IIRC w/ magnetic storage recovery could go as far as 3 pass w/o too much difficulty).

  Cons

  No shell integration, that is easily accessible through Windows explorer contextual menu (secondary mouse button or windows keyboard key next to the right control. Also no option to no make a secure delete; I did not need to try hiding the file content, I just needed for the file to free up space right away.

  Summary

  There was no promise to integrate to shell but that's expected nowadays, give an option to do so in the installer, have an option in the start menu (ie: 2nd entry called settings), or at least have an option when the program is loaded; none easily available (maybe there was a cryptic way to do so but I didn't see it).
