OW Shredder

OW Shredder is a practical software solution whose main purpose is to help you permanently erase files from your PC, also assisting you in deleting system drives or removing any trace of data from blank storage space.

The application features a clean and intuitive interface, its usage being sufficiently simple so as to elicit as little effort or prior knowledge from you as possible.

OW Shredder’s main window lets you choose the function that you wish to work with, just by drag and dropping items on the corresponding section, be it ‘File / Folder Eraser’, ‘Full Drive Eraser’ or ‘Drive Trace Remover’.

Regardless of the data type that you wish to dispose of, the program lets you drag and drop the source item onto its window, enumerating its contents in a dedicated field and allowing you to get the process started by pressing the ‘Erase All’ button.

OW Shredder can delete data using four distinct algorithms, namely ‘British HMG Baseline’, ‘HSC 1614.65’, ‘GOST R 50739-95’ or ‘RCMP TSSIT OPS-II’, letting you choose the one you prefer from the ‘Settings’ section.

The ‘Tools’ tab enables you to analyze your system and view a percentual account of the file types stored on it (pictures, videos, music, documents, emails, archives, and others); a visual representation in the form of a pie chart is displayed and you can export it to PNG or JPG format.

Moreover, OW Shredder can analyze data clusters on your PC, as well as provide you with a series of statistics about it. Optionally, you can create one or more restore points, which you can use to bring your computer back to a specific state, if needed.

To conclude, OW Shredder is a useful and easy to handle utility that can help you erase data from your computer without the possibility of it being recovered. Aside from files and folders, it can also target system partitions or clean empty space.
