This application wipes files completely, but that's it, so expect no bells and whistles. WipeClean's straightforward interface is lined with intuitive icon buttons. You create wiping jobs wherein you can browse your computer for files or folders you want to permanently delete. Unfortunately, the program doesn't include a scheduling feature to automatically wipe at routine intervals. You can integrate WipeClean to the Windows Explorer right-click menu, although it failed in our tests. You choose from three standard wiping methods. The fastest is the least secure, while the slowest is the most secure. WipeClean doesn't claim to wipe files to DOD standards. In our tests, it usually got rid of files in a matter of few minutes. The Wipe Free Space feature also worked fine, although it took more than 15 minutes to wipe out spaces from a 1.4MB floppy disk. The 15-day trial period is long enough for users to further test WipeClean's standard wipe-utility features, but the lack of a scheduler means we recommend this program primarily for novices.
