What it is

BitRaser File Eraser permanently removes files, folders, volumes, browser history, application traces, and other user data from computers and external storage. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux and is designed to leave operating system files intact. The software supports 18 erasure standards, including NIST 800-88 and DoD methods, with random and total verification. Tasks can be scheduled daily, weekly, or monthly, and password protection can prevent unauthorized erasure. It creates digitally signed reports in PDF and XML, with automatic syncing to BitRaser Cloud Console. It can erase data on mapped drives, including Google Drive. The Network edition lets administrators search for files and remotely execute and monitor erasures across domain-connected computers. A free license offers full access to the software and Cloud Console, but is available only for business use. The Corporate Windows plan costs $34 a year for one machine and permits unlimited erasures during the active subscription; taxes are extra, and internet access is required to download and activate. Licenses are annual and machine-specific, and Windows and Mac machines require separate licenses.
