CyberShredder is an easy to use, drag-and-drop way to delete files and folders from your computer permanently. While normal file deletion remove a file's directory entry and allocation table information, the actual disk clusters that contained the file's data remains intact on your hard disk and can be recovered. CyberShredder overwrites the space occupied from a file with random data and then erases the file, so recovery tools cannot recover it.

Although the "very quick" shred should be more than adequate for most users, there are multi-pass methods available that overwrite the file multiple times.

Warning: Some users have reported issues when wiping directories with non-English characters in them.

In addition, Pandora Recovery supports recovery of archived, hidden, system, sparse, encrypted and compressed files, as well as ADS (Alternate Data Streams).

FileExtractor is a tool for recovering files from a binary data source such as digital cameras, partitions, hard drives, memory sticks or floppy disks. It also works on Linux partitions and image-files. It is possible to use the extractor itself (configurable to search certain types of file) or a wizard, specially in order to recover data from devices.

Note: If recovering a device, the program works by creating an independent image before attempting recovery. However, this is not the case when searching the internals of files.
