About File Shredder

* Destroy files by overwriting them with random data.
* Select any combination of folders and files easily.
* Works in the background, so you can continue working after selecting the files to be shred.


If you rate lower than 5, please provide a comment. I'd love to know what I can do to perfect this app.


Method of operation:

The application will overwrite the file once with random data. It is not necessary to overwrite multiple times on SSD. The "ghost tracks" from magnetic media simply do not exist on solid state storage. Even on modern magnetic media it is not a practical concern anymore because of enormous data densities.

Now, what is a practical concern, is that with some SSD drives, there exists transparent methods to balance the writes over the media, as to wear out the memory evenly. This might cause the disk to actually write the new replacement bytes to a different place than intended. Nevertheless the allocation table will still be scrambled, so that the original inode does not point to the old block anymore.

In spirit of keeping everyone happy, there will be some near future releases thought!

Now, install it and enjoy! No more evil network permissions for ads!

Hurray! :)

I've been having problems deleting videos from my sd card on my phone. I go into gallery delete the file/delete the folder few minutes later theres the folder again with everything in it. And if I go into the files on my phone to try and delete them it will will just say failed to delete. So I thought I'd try this app, I use the app and it still tells me failed to delete. Did nothing.

NEW PERMISSIONS. WHY? 2★ APP DEV FAILED TO MENTION NEW PERMISSIONS. NOW READS/MODIFIES GOOGLE BILLING SERVICES. I like developers explaining why their app requires a major permissions request, because it can be legitimate. I won't run the new version, but I will update, backup app.apk, uninstall the app and run a better alternative, or last version. Be careful my Droid Heads! Ask Devs nice, maybe it fully removes an app's account info, but EXPECT THAT ANSWER! ★
