Compare DeleteOnClick vs. Secure Eraser

DeleteOnClick is a straightforward application designed for the secure deletion of files, functioning as a Windows Shell Extension rather than a separate program. When files are deleted using this tool, they bypass the recycle bin, emphasizing the need for caution while using it. Users can securely remove any file that isn't currently in use by another application. The program allows for the complete erasure of files with just a single click, and it ensures that files are renamed to random titles prior to deletion, making any recovery attempts futile. Once files are deleted through DeleteOnClick, they are permanently lost and cannot be retrieved. This tool also has the capability to securely empty the recycle bin, as well as wipe all file dates and attributes before removing the actual data. Compatible with Windows 10, DeleteOnClick adheres to the U.S. DOD 5220.22-M standard for secure file deletion, enhancing user confidence in its effectiveness. Overall, DeleteOnClick serves as a vital tool for anyone needing to ensure their files are irretrievably erased.
