About this app
Delete and wipe out all residue from deleted files on all disks, internal and external, physical and emulated.
When files and information are deleted from the disks they are not physically deleted and remain on the disks. Instead, the area occupied by them is reassigned by the OS to other future files. Thus, the deleted files are recoverable, fully or partially. The intention of this application is to completely delete and wipe out the files and information residue , so these files and information are irrecoverable.
This application works as a stand alone application but, for the fastest use, advisable is to copy huge files on the disks and then run this application to delete the rest of the disks' area.

I've used forensic files app to fill my deleted images space with 0's so thay they are not recoverable. Later, I used another disk checker app. But, previous deleted images were still visible. I shot a mail to the developer of this app who listened to my problem very patiently. He suggested me to fill the gallery with pics & delete them so thay they fill up the space of previous deleted image cache.. I ran disk checker after cache delete & couldn't find pics. Contact developer in doubt

This app is useless on smartphones. Smartphones run on SSD. Overwriting 0s on SSD shortens lifespan, and it does nothing to "secure" deleted files.

The warning for flash has been clearly written. This app is not supposed to be used every second. Also, the app will delete all files Android allows For some, such as old pictures, dummy pictures can be made to fill the buffer and, the, the app will delete the ones, which are, now, out of the buffer. The same applies for all buffered, secured files

What's new
Much faster. Takes seconds or a few minutes to wipe a phone.
