Description: Purge is a program that allows you to delete files from your computer the way, it wont be possible to recover them using any file recovering software or even by giving your harddrive to the professional company that specialize in data recovering.
Standard "Delete" method provided to you by the operating system, dont really destroy the data on your hardrive, it merely removes filename from directory list, and marks space occupied by your file as free.
Entire content of the file is still there and can be easily recovered! Why do you need Purge? If you keep on your computer files containing confidential data and you want to be sure that no one will be able to recover them, once you decided to delete them, then you need Purge.
Purge allows you to permamently erase these files from your hardrive, by overwriting theirs content with random data, sector by sector.
You can use Purge to destroy and erase content of any confidential files or directories on your drive including text documents, pictures, movies, sound files, pdf documents, or files in any format.
