Security

At the Security options page you can set the options to be applied to the files being deleted from your system in the course of System Cleaner's tools and features use.

Section When deleting files:

• Send files to Recycle Bin: the files will not be deleted by System Cleaner irretrievably; they will be moved to your Recycle Bin instead. This ensures the possibility to restore the deleted files by yourself but involves the risk of the files being restored by unauthorized persons.
• Securely delete files using the following Data Destruction Algorithm: the files being deleted by System Cleaner will be processed using a special algorithm chosen by you below. This will ensure the highest security level as it will be virtually impossible to restore the deleted files for a stranger, however you should be aware that you will also be unable to restore them yourself which means that this option should be used with care. As an additional security option, you can also use the For even extra security rename the files before wiping option.

To apply the highly secure deletion algorithms to only some files manually selected by you, you can use the System Cleaner's Shredder tool. Please also refer to the Shredder help section to learn more about Data Destruction algorithms used.
