Is there a replacement for this? Something that actually 'shreds' files so they aren't recoverable.

Just write garbage data to the file a few times before deleting it.

With what? Small files I used to convert to txt and muck it up.

>wut is shift + del

Not OP but thanks anon, didn't know. This is going to change my life!
>>61540447
I'm pretty sure shift + del still only 'forgets' the files, it doesn't actually overwrite them.

Look up Windows shredding tools in Google.

Not him but you could try something like this

Then just drag any file you want to delete onto the program, or call it from the command line as "path_to_exe path_to_file", or you could probably add a shortcut to the explorer context menu.
It'll generate random bytes and then write them to the file CHUNK_SIZE at a time until it's full ITERATIONS times. Increasing CHUNK_SIZE will increase memory usage but reduce the calls needed to fwrite, increasing ITERATIONS will increase the time it takes to execute but probably do a better job at shredding the file.
I'm probably missing some security stuff there as my C isn't too good, but it just werks™

Works a charm, thanks anon
