In depth

A closer look at Hardwipe

Hardwipe is a simple to use tool that allows you to clean your computer from unnecessary files and folders, thus making sure that no one else can find and access them.It offers you the means to perform complete or partial wipes on physical drives, as well as logical volumes that are full or empty. With it, you are able to permanently delete any file or folder that resides on your system.

Remove files you don't need

Hardwipe displays a user-friendly interface which is actually quite good looking. All the main tools are displayed in a side panel and the rest of the main window contains information and access to various features and options.The application grants you quick access to tools that enable you to wipe drives and files, clean space and clear recycle bins. No matter the one you opt for, removing the files is a simple and straightforward process. You simply choose the location you want to clean and with the click of a button, Hardwipe does the rest.Wipe both disk drives and individual files or foldersWiping is not really a fast process even though you can choose between different erase speeds, because it needs to be thorough. So, even clearing up a couple of GB of recycle bin space can take you a couple of minutes. On the other hand, the time you spend waiting for Hardwipe to remove the files is time you save by not worrying if someone hacks your computer and retrieves them.Besides targeting full drives to wipe, you can also select individual files and folders to permanently erase. However, you can’t choose multiple files from different folders and remove them, which at times can be a bit of a bother but not nearly enough to lower the practicality and benefits that Hardwipe offers you.

Overwrite data on your hard disk

In closing, if you’re looking for a simple and efficient way in which to permanently remove files and folders from your hard drive or external storage device, you can try Hardwipe.NOTE: Free for non-commercial use only. If you want to extend the feature set (write log reports to disk, perform read-back verification, completely clear the Windows pagefile, remove ads), you must upgrade Hardwipe.
