Erasing assets once they reach end-of-life is important, but active environments often require a clean up as well. Here’s a look at how to erase sensitive files and folders that need to be permanently removed for security, retention or compliance purposes.

Moving files and folders to the recycle bin or simply deleting them isn’t enough. These files can easily be recovered with many free and open-source tools.

Blancco File Eraser goes beyond today’s regular file shredding software to guarantee your files are eliminated for good, with a wide array of global data erasure standards supported.

While typical file shredding or wiping software may delete some data, Blancco File Eraser securely and permanently erases files and folders to comply with even the most stringent security requirements, including Common Criteria and can even erase existing free space on the disk.

Blancco File Eraser gives enterprise IT departments the ability to automate file erasure using a command line interface and easily integrate within existing enterprise IT systems such as Active Directory deploy “silent installations” via an MSI package. The tool can also be used to sanitize files and folders stored on servers or workstations.
