App: CCleaner




An absolutely fantastic free program. Offers secure deletion options for deleting your secure data, or what you don't want your room mate to see. The options are Normal (1 pass), Secure Simple Overwrite (1 pass), DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes), NSA (7 passes), and Gutmann (35 passes). A normal deletion replaces the ones with zeros, and just about any data recovery tool will be able to recover your deleted porn. How ever, if you go over the data and delete it 35 times, then its pretty much gone for ever. NSA Secure Deletion is the Military Standard for file deletion, and thats only 7 passes, 5 times that is much more secure.
