Data Destroyer 6.57d

Maybe you are upgrading your computer and want to be generous and donate the system, including the drive to the local high school but you are concerned about your passwords and other personal information that might be on the drive? Maybe you are a system administrator retiring older systems and before you toss those 10 gig drives, you want to ensure that no one can make use of any proprietary data that might have been on the drive. Whatever the reason or motivation, if you have data on your system you don't want anyone else to find, or worse access, then Data Destroyer is for you.

Data Destroyer is simple to load, takes up very little space on the drive, just under 600k after install, and uses a very simple interface. Within the program there are multiple choices for how much you want to ensure the destruction of your data. Data Destroyer explains how secure each method is, from overwriting with random characters to an 'organized pattern' of one's and zero's combined with random characters, enough to qualify for government level sanitization of the drive.

Whether you want to destroy single files, folders or groups of either, Data Destroyer can do it. Data Destroyer will prompt you prior to the data destruction to ensure the target you have chosen is the one you mean, you can verify how long the destruction will take, then just click Purge Files. This is a handy utility that will do a great job helping you keep your drive clean and tidy. The purchase price of $35 is a little steep for a specialized utility like this, so it is a matter of choice as to how badly you need the services offered by Data Destroyer.
