ShredIt X 6.0

ShredIt X is an app that can safely delete your files. As you may know, when you delete a file, you are not deleting it for good. There are computer applications that can recover files even after you have deleted them and emptied the Trash bin. That is why, if you want to get rid of a file, you have to "shred" it. Shredding deletes a file and it re-writes the space where it was with junk data, so that not a trace of your file can be recovered. ShredIt X allows you to do this easily.

The main window has four different buttons, for four different actions. The first one is "Shred File". This allows you to select a file and shred it. The next button is "Shred Folder", which does the same but to entire folders. After that, you will see a drop-down menu and a button that reads "Shred Freespace". This allows you to shred unused space on any of your drives. This is ideal for when you need to make sure that files you have deleted in the past aren't recoverable. The last option, "Shred CDRW", allows you to shred a rewritable CD.

The trial version of this app doesn't shred files; it just deletes them. Thus, I can't say for sure whether this app works well or not. The only way to know is to buy the app and test it.
