File Shredder?

joe2cool

Hi can anyone recommend a good 'file shredder' like 'Eraser' for Win 7, unfortunately 'Eraser' isn't compatible at the moment.


Thx

CCleaner can be set to overwrite if you already have that

Some other options here

Doesn't seem to work with Win 7

I'm using it with W7 64-bit. Works fine, both from the context menu and run as an application.

OK had checked Cnet, which didn't show Win 7

Thx

I use Eraser with Win 7 64 Bit. What part of it doesn't work?

I use version 5 as I prefer it to 6 - http://sourceforge.net/projects/eraser/files/Eraser%205/5.8.8/

I didn't like it in 6 where I had to have the agent running down in the system tray (the little icon) all the time. With 5, I can just right-click on a file or recycle bin, and shred. It just seems less hassle
