Files Wiping

This tool completely and unrecoverably destroys files. This is done by overwriting the file a set number of times, then resetting the size to 0 bytes, and finally deleting it. Once file is wiped it can be never recovered (even using UnDelete or UnErase tools). Wiping a file with 3 passes respects the DOD 5220.22-M directive for sanitizing a file on a Non-Removable Rigid Disk or a Removable Rigid Disk, and wiping a file with 7 passes respects the NSA approved seven-pass file erasure method.

There are two modes of the wiping: single file wiping and folder wiping.

Options for the folder wiping:

  1. Include subfolders - if this option is checked, PrivacyWatcher wipes the specified folder including all its subfolders. Otherwise only files in the specified directory are wiped.
  2. Delete folder after wiping - this option removes the specified folder after the wiping
