However, it still works on newer Windows editions.

Simple installation and interface

After setup, it creates its executable file on the desktop and lets you move it anywhere on the computer to run FileWipeOut. As soon as you start a wiping job, it also creates a configuration file in the same location as the executable, where it takes note of the target file's location. Moreover, it keeps a log file in your "Documents" directory that records all, and this item cannot be moved.

Easily shred files

The tool adopts a user-friendly interface made from a single window with a plain and simple structure, where you can locate and select a file to shred using a built-in folder structure. There are no kinds of configuration settings at your disposal, so all you can do is execute the file removal operation.This task may take a while, depending on the size of the file, but it's generally fast. During this time, you can check out the total zero, blank, random, and random loops wipe count. On completion, you are informed of the job's success or failure through a notification messages, and you can also find out the task time. There are no other notable options available.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without triggering the operating system to hang, crash or prompt error messages.
