Description
A plea...
Deanna and I have been running this site since 2008 and lately we're seeing a big increase in
users (and cost) but a decline in percentage of users who donate. Our ad-free and junkware-free
download site only works if everyone chips in to offset the revenue that ads on other sites bring
in. Please donate at the bottom of the page. Every little bit helps. Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
your Older Geeks: Randy and Deanna

Alternate File Shredder v3.100

👉 Securely and permanently erase files, folders, and free disk space to prevent data recovery.

Alternate File Shredder is a freeware, open-source utility designed to securely destroy files and folders so they cannot be recovered with standard undelete or forensic recovery tools. Instead of simply removing file references from the file system, it repeatedly overwrites the contents using configurable methods before deleting them, making recovery extremely difficult or impossible. The program can also overwrite unused free space on a drive to eliminate remnants of files that were previously deleted without secure wiping. Additional options allow you to overwrite data with random values, a fixed value, or the contents of another file, giving you flexibility for different security requirements. Because secure deletion is permanent, the author recommends carefully reviewing all selected items before proceeding.



Features:
• Permanently erase files and folders by securely overwriting data before deletion
• Wipe free disk space to remove recoverable traces of previously deleted files
• Choose overwrite methods using random values, fixed values, or a template file
• Configure multiple overwrite iterations for increased security
• Optionally overwrite file names before deletion
• Ignore write protection when desired
• Drag-and-drop support for quickly adding files and folders
• Displays detailed file information before shredding
• Processing log for completed operations
• Open source and free to use

Supported operating systems:
• Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server

Supported languages:
• English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Slovenian, Danish, Dutch
