FillDisk is a simple utility that fills up a disk with data. This is useful for testing a separate application's behavior when a disk is approaching full capacity or basic free space shredding when you don't have admin access (recommend checking "No OS optimization"). The program starts with 1GB files, then drops to 512MB, 256MB and so on until it completely fills up the disk.
FillDisk has a very simple interface: just enter a folder for the files to be created and press the "Go" button. You can stop the operation at any point in time and the file that is currently being written will close.

download-buttons don't work. On https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?sc=217 the download-button gets the wrong programme (one from nirsoft). |
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.

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 |

Eraser 5.8.8 Portable does not integrate to Windows shell on x64 systems (in my case- Windows 8 x64). |
Easy Duplicate File Finder helps you find and remove duplicate files on your PC. It finds true duplicates by content (instead of file name and size alone). You can scan multiple folders/drives at the same time, and the search can be restricted by using a scan mask and/or specifying a size condition. Lists of duplicates can be exported to HTML.
Note: linking to what appears to be the last free version (2.4).

USB Flash Tools is a toolkit that provides several functions for flash memory, including SD or Compact Flash cards and USB thumb drives. The program helps verify reported capacity, backup and restore of a drive (with optional compression), and securely erase the contents. A variety of secure erase methods are available including free space or whole-drive wipe using either basic (zero out / pseudorandom) or high-security standards (like DoD).
Note: While more secure, more passes are progressively slower and can reduce the life of the flash memory drive.

DP Shredder erases files/folders securely and wipes disk free space using one of the following methods: zero, pseudo-random data, RCMP (DSX), US DoD 5220.22-M (E), US DoD 5220.22-M (ECE) or Gutmann 35x.
Multiple wipe actions are progressively slower. All but the most security-minded users should only need a pseudo-random overwrite.

The author "Dirk Paehl" has an interesting collection of software, I'm not sure if they are all portable though.

What I don't like about this program is there the indication that it is running is just the "Pass N" on the bottom bar and the "waiting" icon on the application. A progress bar would be much better.

Disk Redactor erases all free space on any hard disk or flash memory storage, preventing deleted files from being recovered.
Note: Disk Redactor does not scramble the filenames, so they can still be read by recovering applications, even if the file content is wiped out.

Would the lack of filename scrambling fool a recovery tool into classing the file as in good condition?

No longer portable. |
DeepBurner Free Portable Edition is an advanced CD and DVD burning package. It supports a very wide range of internal and external (USB 2.0 and FireWire) CD and DVD writers. The free version supports creation of data CD/DVD, audio CDs and ISO images.
Category: | |
Runs on: | Win95 / Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP |
Writes settings to: | Windows registry. Despite the claim that the portable edition writes settings to the application folder, I find that it still writes to the Windows registry and user profile folder. However, the number of settings is small and non-crucial, so I think it can be accepted as portable. |
Unicode support: | No |
License: | Freeware |
How to extract: | Download the ZIP package for the Portable Edition and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch DeepBurner.exe. |

I keep coming back to Deep Burner....I've tried so many others but why?Just for the aggravation,I guess.This one always comes through,once you know it's (very few!) settings.When it burns a disk ,I'm always sure it's not a coaster. |
Avignon Concept is a Personal Information Manager aimed to integrate data management for Documents, Contacts, Calendar, ToDo lists, Bank accounts, Books and Music. The application has more than 40 standard (filter) reports, which can be run to screen and in PDF format.
Note: This software has gone payware and the only available free version is from Softpedia. Although the Softpedia version claims the software is portable, this has not been tested.

Very interesting application when you take time to invest in it. Much more than Rainlendar although less fancy interface. Has also the import tools and is fully Unicode. Must be used by a large number of users, as it appears in 7 languages already. New search function quite usefull. Imports are possible from Excel. Extra features, such as the Money application, can be used to replace money or quicken in simple households. The music and film functions are quite handy. I'm positively surprised : it's much better than it seems at first hand.

Apparently not free: "We advise you that the downloaded file gives you the right to try the program for 30 days. If you want to use the program longer than the 30 days, you need to buy the license key with us. The downloaded program is fully functional, and contains all 8 languages" |
q10 is a distraction-free, full screen writing environment (similar to Writeroom for OS X). Just you and a black screen to get your writing done without the distraction of menus, icons, etc. Includes a timer, spell check, and a customizable look. [Note: The version used for the size calculation was the version that includes the spell check]
