Eraser is a feature-rich tool to permanently delete sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it with random patterns. Includes a scheduler, free-space wipe, random number generation for better overwriting, page file wipe at shutdown, password-protected settings, and more. The program includes a wide variety of wiping mechanisms from very fast (only deleting the first and last 2kb) to extraordinarily slow (35-pass). Note that all but the most security-minded users should only need only the 1-pass "pseudo-random" wipe.
Alternatively, Eraser Portable is a PortableApps version.
Note: The 5.x branch is no longer supported. There is a 6.x branch available, but there is no official portable version for this branch and it requires the .NET framework.

What's new? |
Do not erase sparse, compressed or encrypted files when FL2KB erasure is selected to prevent disk corruption. Fix Win32 Eraser builds to be truly Unicode builds. A few 64-bit fixes. Ensure that Eraser uses the latest runtimes packaged with the installer. This should fix hangs when using the Context menu. Fixed the About dialog after migrating to Unicode Sign all binaries packaged with the installer Allow erasing UNC paths Fixed memory exhaustion when doing a free space erase for FAT drives Migrate non-Unicode custom erasure methods to the Unicode methods so that old custom erasure methods are preserved upon upgrade Ensure that Eraser is not running when the Eraser setup is run |
