Raider vs SecureDel

Raider, listed as File Shredder on its GNOME app page, is a free Linux app for making recovery of deleted sensitive files more difficult. It is designed to permanently remove files from a computer and supports folder shredding with custom shredding standards. It does not offer free-space shredding or scheduled shredding. The app cautions that modern SSD technology prevents shredding from being perfect, although it can raise the difficulty of data recovery. The GNOME app page directs users to install the latest version from Flathub, which lists aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. Version 3.1.0 is the listed latest release, dated May 18, 2025. Its changes include a GNOME 48 update, a modernized circular progress indicator, fixes for small memory leaks, and DBus launch support. Alan Beveridge is named as maintainer, with San Diego, California listed as the maintainer location. App-specific content is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. The page links to GitHub for reporting issues, feedback, and translation contributions.
