File Shredder is a simple tool designed to help you remove files from your hard drive without the fear they could be recovered.
There are quite a few software tools today for retrieval of deleted files under Windows OS. Those tools, often referred to as "file recovery" software, are taking advantage of shortcoming of WIndows "delete" command that we all use regularly to delete files.
Actually, the "delete" operation in Windows only removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy to retrieve those files using aforementioned specialized file recovery software.

All information from the file is still kept on a hard drive but at first sight it seems to be deleted. There are special programs which can restore erased files. If you delete some of your secret files by ordinary method or by using "Recycle Bin" procedure then the files still can be restored without any problems by "unwanted person" or by Special Agencies. While deleting files the "File Shredder" tool erases information in file itself and then renames it to even prevent access to name of the file and deletes it in an ordinary way.

Data Shredder literally destroys files, free space and your Recycle Bin contents instead of only deleting them. That means your data contents once overwritten and destroyed It can't be recovered.
The user therefore should be sure of the files, folders .etc. he/she wants to shred.There are many safeguards built into the Data Shredder program to warn the user.Windows allocates clusters for new files (and extending existing files) from one end of the disk and moving towards the other end. Accordingly, the user for example if deleting files near the end of the disk, it might be very long before those clusters get used again.
