When you use Shredder to delete the contents of your Recycle Bin and Temporary Internet Files folder, the tool ensures that the information cannot be recovered. You can also use Shredder to delete the entire contents of a removable drive, including external hard drives, writeable CDs, and floppy disks.
You can specify how many times (up to 10) that you want to shred an item: 1 (Quick) is the fastest and 10 (Complete) is the most secure. The more times you choose to shred an item, the more confident you can feel knowing that your private information cannot be recovered.
The first time that you use Shredder, you must select the items that you want to shred. You can set up Shredder to save your settings so that any time you want to shred items on your PC, you can do so quickly. You can also change your settings whenever you want.
 | Before you shred any files or folders, make sure that you no longer need them. Once you shred a file, it is gone forever and cannot be restored. |
