Secure Eraser: Secure Data Deletion and Destruction

What is deleted from the hard drive is far from gone. As long as the data is not overwritten, anyone can make it visible again at any time. This is particularly problematic when a computer is resold or given away.

Secure Eraser utilizes recognized methods for data deletion and overwrites confidential information so securely that it cannot be restored even with specialized software. But that's not all: Our award-winning solution for secure data destruction also removes cross-references that could allow conclusions about the former existence of the deleted files in the allocation tables of your hard drives.

The very easy-to-use Windows software overwrites sensitive data up to 35 times - whether it's files, folders, drives, the recycle bin, or browsing traces. Even already deleted files can be securely erased afterwards.

In addition to overwriting with random values, Secure Eraser adheres to the guidelines of the NIST SP 800-88 standard, offering the proven standards US DoD 5220.22-M E and US DoD 5220.22-M ECE from the US Department of Defense, the German Industrial Standard, and the Peter Gutmann Standard for selection. All deletion processes are meticulously logged upon request.

Hard Drive Wiping Made Easy: We Offer the Right Software for Simple Use

If retention periods have expired or you want to securely delete confidential data from your hard drive due to a system or hardware change, you have two options. You can either consult an expert who can perform this task as an external service provider, or you can use appropriate software.

Securely erase data on SSDs +

Question: Can I securely erase data on my SSD using Secure Eraser?
Answer: Unlike ordinary hard drives SSD store files and folders so that selective overwriting of unused hard drive sectors is not possible. We recommend that you ask the manufacturer of the SSD being used for the designated deletion software and the deletion method for this model.

Alternatively, you can in most cases safely delete files and folders from SSD using Secure Eraser, by following the instructions below:

Delete existing files and folders using the "secure file deletion" function. This way, files and folder names can be deleted successfully from the medium index, so that later no conclusions about the contained data can be drawn. Use the "Low - Random" deletion method in order not to negatively influence the service life of the SDD.

After deleting files and folders, the entire free space of the medium should be deleted so that all available sectors are securely overwritten. You can use the "Free space secure deletion" function.

Securely erase system partition +

Question: Can the system partition be safely erased with Secure Eraser?
Answer: Yes. The system partition is hidden in the "Drive/partition deletion" menu because it cannot be deleted during operation. However, if you proceed as follows, you can still clean up your system safely:

Reset your system to the factory state: Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Updates & Security" and click "Recovery". In the right column under the heading "Reset this PC", click "Get started" and in the next step select "Remove everything".

Once the PC is reset, delete the free space via the "Free space deletion" menu in Secure Eraser. In this way, your system is reset to the factory state and all data is safely overwritten.
