Paranoia File Manager: Secure File Deletion Tool
Paranoia is a Windows application developed by Matt Polis, available for free under the Utilities & Tools category, specifically designed for file managers. With Paranoia, securely deleting files from your hard drive is as easy as drag and drop.
This intuitive tool ensures complete file destruction by utilizing the 'wipe' technique, resetting all bits on the disk where the file was stored to zero. Once a file is wiped using Paranoia, it is nearly impossible to recover it, providing a high level of data security. However, users should exercise caution as deleted files cannot be retrieved, even with specialized recovery programs.
