<Title>File Shredder, erase files permanently - Jitbit System Purifier</Title>

<h1>File Shredder</h1>
<p>Deleted files are not physically removed from your hard disk. Emptying your Recycle Bin is NOT enough. Your sensitive files can be recovered with recovery tools even after formatting your hard disk. When you delete a file, your hard disk just marks the file as deleted, but the data of the file is still on the hard disk. This is made to optimize performance and there are many tools available which can let others easily recover your sensitive files even after you format your hard disk.</p>
<p>System Purifier physically erases your critical files, by overwriting the portion on the hard drive that is allocated to the files <strong>several times</strong>. An erased file can still be recovered with recovery tools, BUT the recovered file will be totally unusable and filled with zeroes.</p>
<h2>Erasing files and folders</h2>
<p>Navigate to "File Shredder" tool. Build the list of files or folders you want to erase by clicking "Add file" or "Add folder" buttons. Press "Erase all" button.</p>
<p><strong>Please note</strong> that System Purifier is fully <u>integrated with the Windows shell</u> - you can erase your files from any windows-compatible file manager through a right-click context menu. Select "Erase permanently with System Purifier" context-menu item and System Purifier window will popup. Review the list of selected files and click "Erase all".</p>
