Update May 2017
A May 2017 Microsft security update for Windows 10 conflicted with a major routine in FileBoss resulting in FileBoss not starting on some Windows 10 systems.
Versions V3.101 and later, fix the problem. You can read more about this at the page
Windows Creators Conflict.
Destroying Files
Permanently deletes files from your hard disk
making them invulnerable to restore utilities. FileBoss writes over the data in the files several times before deleting the files themselves.
To Destroy Selected Files
First select the files you want to Destroy.
(Click here to find out more about FileBoss' advanced selection methods.)
-
Select the files you want to Destroy.
-
Select 'Actions > Advanced > Destroy...' from the main menu
-
Confirm that you want to destroy the selected files.
Warning: Destroying files will scrub them from your disk so you will not be able to retrieve them again.
But:
-
Will destroying files keep my spouse from finding out what I'm giving for our Anniversary? Probably Yes.
-
Will destroying files keep my boss from seeing my new resume? Probably
-
Will destroying files keep a government, any government, from knowing what was in them? If they have your computer and really want those files then quite likely not (see below).
Please remember that destroying files does not guarantee that the information in those files is no longer on your computer. Programs that used the file and even Windows itself may have cached the contents of the file somewhere else.
