Simply deleting a file doesn't work exactly the way you think. When deleting it, all you do in fact is erasing its name. The physical file will still stay on your disk and it can be recovered with certain software. So, getting rid of data you don't want others to see is not as simple as it sounds, but it can be. Wipe Expert will help you permanently delete any files or folders, Internet traces and erase your free disk space. This way, your privacy is assured.

The package is quite small in size. Almost 3 Mb is not something that will take too long to download. The installation wizard will take you through a few short steps and you can start cleaning up your traces in no time.

There are three tools you can find in Wipe Expert's interface and you can run them by simply clicking on their large buttons. Accessing any of them will bring up a wizard with a few easy steps. When running the file and folder erasing feature, the wizard will first ask you what it should delete: files, folders or Recycle Bin contents. When choosing to erase a file or a folder, the next step of the wizard will feature a list where you can add the target items by clicking on an Add button and browsing for them. Clicking the Next button will start the process immediately. So there are just two steps to go through when deleting something. Erasing the disk's free space is even quicker.The wizard from this function has only one step: selecting a drive.

The final function to access from the main window is an Internet traces eraser. It allows you to delete data, like history, cache cookies and others, created either by a browser or by the system itself. Wipe Expert is compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome and you can delete their traces separately by accessing their own tabs, during the second step of the wizard.

From the settings panel, you can select one of the many erasing methods, schedule a cleanup task or adjust a panic button. The panic button is a shortcut for actions such as hiding or closing all windows, muting all volumes and other actions that can save you in that particular moment when someone barges into your room.

Pros

Wipe Expert lets you clean up any traces left behind by your browser or system. It can also delete files or folders and it makes sure they stay deleted by using advanced protocols, some of them used even by the US Army.

Cons

The way some hyperlinks are placed on the interface is a bit odd. They tend to ruin the interface's sleek design. Don't leave any traces when surfing the Internet. Wipe Expert will delete anything left behind by a browser or the system itself and it makes sure the data will never be found again.
