UltraShredder

UltraShredder is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you erase files permanently from your computer. The tool is able to overwrite data with random characters so it cannot be retrieved using third-party recovery programs.

Portable shredder

You can store UltraShredder on pen drives so you can have it with you all the time. In addition, you may run it without administrative privileges. Accessing its GUI requires just a double-click on the executable file because you do not have to follow the steps included in an installation process.
You can uninstall it by deleting the files that you have grabbed from the Internet because it does not leave configuration files and registry entries on the host computer.

Batch processing

The utility reveals an intuitive design that allows you to drag and drop files directly in the main window. Batch actions can be employed for processing multiple items at the same time.
What’s more, you are allowed to remove items from the list, make the main window remain on top of other applications, as well as specify the number of shreds.
UltraShredder gives you the possibility to view the size and number of items comprised in the Recycle Bin, wipe out the files stored in the Recycle Bin permanently, as well as open the Recycle Bin.
Tests have shown that the tool carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you do not have to worry that it eats up CPU and memory resources.

Bottom line

All things considered, UltraShredder comes packed with basic features for helping you shred sensitive data from your system for good, and is suitable especially for less experienced users.
