This deletes existing files thoroughly and securely. Select Shred files from the drop-down menu in the top right corner. In the center of the screen, click Browse and use the check boxes to select files to shred from the directory. You can select single files by expanding a folder, or select an entire folder.
In the top right corner click Shred and then confirm with Yes. When the operation is complete a confirmation message appears. The speed of the shredding process depends on the amount of space to shred and the shredding method selected in settings.
