Disk Doctors File ShredderHelps you to shred files and folders from your Windows drive; shreds the deleted data leaving no traces of sensitive critical data.

File Shredder is an advanced file shredding application which includes easy-to-use options to shred files, folders, and unused space from a logical drive. The software presents a hierarchical explorer view to select file and folders to shred. Simply add the files to the "shredding zone" and select the shredding patterns.
