Alternate File Shredder v3.100
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 Changes: v3.100 02-13-26 Added custom colors Options extended Note: This file has four hits on VirusTotal.

Delete Empty v1.0
Delete Empty v1.0 A command-line utility to remove or review empty files and folders on a Windows/Windows Server computer. Here are the options: DelEmpty.exe OPTIONS [PATH] -f delete files of size zero -d delete empty directories -v verbose mode -c confirm mode (Shows what was deleted) -s include sub directories -l list what would be deleted (Will not delete) -y delete without (y/n) prompt So, for example, if we wanted to remove all empty folders from c:\DataFolder, including sub folders – We would call it like this: DelEmpty.exe -d -s c:\datafolder If you wanted it to delete them without prompting you: DelEmpty.exe -d -s -y c:\datafolder Better yet, if we wanted to see what it would delete before taking any action: DelEmpty.exe -d -s -l c:\datafolder Finally, we can also remove any files that have a zero size too using the -f option: DelEmpty.exe -d -s -y -f c:\datafolder Please – Please be careful with this utility. It only deletes empty files and folders, but it is always possible that you have a program that *needs* those empty folders. So make sure you throughly test before using it.
