Spec score 6.4 #24 of 26 in Secure File Shredding Software

What it is

O&O SafeErase is paid Windows software for securely removing data. It can delete individual files and folders, wipe drives, and clear unused drive space. Certified overwrite methods are listed for the erasure process, and scheduled shredding supports recurring deletion tasks. The supported systems are Windows 10 and Windows 11. O&O SafeErase for 1 PC costs $29.95 USD once as a perpetual license. O&O SafeErase for 5 PCs costs $49.90 USD once, also as a perpetual license. There is no free plan, although a 30-day trial is listed. The product therefore covers both targeted file deletion and broader drive-cleaning work, with scheduling for repeated operations. O&O was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Buyers should match the selected license to the number of PCs and the Windows version in use.
