Screengrab_98 When we want to delete important files, most of us simply drag our files to the Trashcan and then empty our trash. Finding or recovering these files is easy, as they aren't really deleted from your system. If you want to trash your hard drive, at a later date, your drive will be a hive of important personal information that you think you've deleted, but an expert can easily retrieve. You need a tool that will permanently erase the files by overwriting them with other data.

Eraser 5.81 is a small tool that will enable you to erase important files, documents and folders. It's only a small free tool, but very popular with vnunet.com users. It does one job, but does this job effectively. Download Eraser 5.81 and see if it meets your requirements.
