Disk Wipe

Imagine that you would like to sell your computer hard disk, in order to get a larger one. The problem is that even though each hard disk partition is formatted, the data is not actually gone, but just hidden. Using a specialized recovery software, the new owner can recover the deleted data and, as such, can have access to all your personal and private files and folders. In this situation, the best solution possible is to wipe the hard disk, making deleted data impossible to recover. A program which can help you in this situation is Disk Wipe.

This intuitively named Windows application allows you to wipe all your hard disk partitions using a single mouse click. Installing this application is not necessary, as Disk Wipe can run directly from the downloaded executable file. After running the application, the graphical interface will detect all installed hard disks and will display all the partitions. The program is virtually compatible with any kind of hard disk or partition, no matter its size.

Besides wiping partitions, the program can also display the contents of a partition in hex mode, allowing the user to go to a certain cluster. By accessing the settings section of Disk Wipe, the user can modify the priority of the application, for shortening the time required for wiping a partition.
