And the Don’t Panic feature allows you to drop an entire disk onto ShredIt X and only wipe the free space on it, leaving your data intact. You can also schedule regular shredding sessions, nominate a “safe place” for files so if they are placed there, they can never be shredded and choose to confirm any shred before it happens. ShredIt X has some interesting features, including the ability to choose the level of security when you shred a file. This is another tool that is focused only on permanently erasing files.

Its file eraser tool, according to its developer, will “remove out-of-date and offline files.” However, it doesn’t explain whether that removal process is a secure erase and whether it will “shred” the file leaving no trace behind.
