Tools & Utilities File Management

4Neuron Eraser is a program that allows you to delete files from your computer the way, it won't be possible to recover them using any file recovering software or even by giving your harddrive to the professional company that specialize in data recovering. Standard "Delete" method provided to you by the operating system, don't really destroy the data on your hardrive, it merely removes filename from directory list, and marks space occupied by your file as free. Entire content of the file is still there and can be easily recovered! 4Neurons Eraser allows you to permanently erase these files from your hardrive, by overwriting their's content with random data, sector by sector. You can use Purge to destroy and erase content of any confidential files or directories on your drive including text documents, pictures, movies, sound files, pdf documents, or files in any format. 4Neurons Eraser uses custom pseudorandom number generator with enormous period and large seed value. Overwriting file with random, chaotic data, which cannot be reconstructed, is critical, since some of the specialistic companies or government agencies are capable to recover files that have been simply erased (ie overwritten with constant value), using specialistic hardware. 4Neurons Eraser comes as Windows shell extension and as a console program. Shell extension integrates itself with Windows Explorer allowing you to erase your files as easily as deleting them is. In the Windows Explorer select files/directories you want to erase, then click with right mouse button and choose "Erase" menu item, which is just below Delete (see screenshot to the right). 4NErase.exe is program for console usage and allows you to erase a single file or recursively entire directory. It also supports wildcards for erasing multiple files/directories at once.
