When you try to delete some files from your system, you may encounter issues such as permission restrictions, or corrupted files that prevent deletion through conventional methods. Even deleting data through the Recycle Bin may not be enough, and specialized software may be able to recover them. These circumstances could lead to sensitive data leakage.
The File Shredder feature of WMaster Cleanup uses military-grade technology to shred files. It restricts data recovery by overwriting file contents and deleting index information, making it an effective way for users to protect their privacy.
