WinDelete1.0.0.0

Windows is one of the leading competitors on the market of operating systems, but it’s far from perfect. Errors can occur in multiple instances, such as attempting to remove files with long paths, and more. Luckily, developers always come with tools like WinDelete to fill in these gaps, and in this case you’re able to forcefully remove just about anything.

Perks of portability

What gives it a particular advantage, given its purpose, is the lack of an installer. As such, you can check out the set of features from the moment it reaches your computer. Moreover, it can be used on other computers directly from a thumb drive if you decide to carry it around, and doesn’t leave any traces, because it doesn’t modify registry entries.The window stays on top of everything else by default, which is a good method of preventing accidental loss of focus. You can toggle this option at the press of a button. The application’s window clearly explains what you’re able to perform and how inside a dedicated details section.

Add multiple files and folders

Items are not deleted on the spot, so you’re free to take your time to add items from multiple locations. There’s no browse dialog, and adding items on the list is done through a drag and drop operation, which can have sources like files, folders, or even program paths.There are two delete modes. You can either delete items on the list, or remove the entire source folders of added items. Removed files and folders are not sent to the Recycle Bin, but not wiped either. In case you want to quickly launch it at any time, there’s the manual tweak to assign a hotkey command to its shortcut.

A few last words

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that WinDelete might not be used on a daily basis, but it’s sure useful when some files stubbornly refuse to be deleted. Multiple files and folders can be targeted, while the application can easily be used from a thumb drive, being worth your while overall.
