This time we tell it from the very beggining : the promoted version - V2 - is not Vista compatible . The latest V3 ( worth $29.95 ) has this advantage .
Advanced users might already know that deleting a file/folder by moving it into the recycle bin ( and then emptying it ) DOES NOT REMOVE THE DATA ITSELF . It remains on the hard disk and can therefore be removed .
More than that : with a bit more effort you can recover files/folders EVEN after formatting a partition !
We have already mentioned it , in our DriveLed article : O&O Software GmbH is another important german top quality software developer ( like Ashampoo ).
If Fix-It Utilities is called “the Windows maintenance Swiss knife ” … Well this tool - O&O SafeErase 2 - can be easily called “The German Terminator ” when it comes to deleting files and folders .
“Old e-mail files, internet history, file cache, financial records, company information, and private files ought to be protected from other’s access. You want to sell, give away, or recycle your machine with the peace of mind that nobody is getting access to your old data ? Use O&O Safe Erase 2 !”

- total integration into Windows Explorer ( just right click to see options in the Context Menu );
- accidental deletion of important files is avoided - you will always be asked to confirm this action;
- entire drive volumes can be erased through the Context Menu by right-clicking on the drive itself;
- “Free Space Wiping” - all free disk space is overwritten and already deleted files annihilated ( select “Secure Deletion of Free Disk Space” );
- O&O TotalErase feature - securely delete an entire computer, including all of its data, all at once. A world’s first brought by O&O !
- 5 levels for setting the Deletion Method : Highest Security (35 Cycles executed in a random order ) , High Security (7 Cycles) , Moderate Security (6 Cycles) , Low Security (3 Cycles) , Lowest Security (1 Cycle - the fastest but offering the most limited security )
- “O&O SafeMove” - allows securely moving files and folders ( by a secure deletion of the source file )
- “Securely Empty Recycle Bin” - by right clicking the recycle bin ;
- “Securely Erase a Partition” - by right clicking that partition ;
- ability to operate SafeErase using command-line input from the Windows Command Prompt .
Please bear in mind that data deleted with O&O SafeErase are no longer restorable! Data deleted just once with O&O SafeErase can never be reconstructed.
Once again : we find this professional tool - another module of well known O&O BlueCon or O&O ToolBox 21 - as one working perfectly .
You’ll certainly need it at one point in “your relationship” with your computer .
