iBeesoft File Shredder Review: Features, Pros, and Cons

How to Use iBeesoft File Shredder to Permanently Erase Files

1. Download and install

• Visit the official iBeesoft website and download the File Shredder installer.
• Run the installer and follow on-screen prompts to install.

2. Launch the app and choose a mode

• Open iBeesoft File Shredder.
• Select the shredding mode (single file/folder shred or wipe free space) depending on need.

3. Add files or folders

• Click Add Files or Add Folder (or drag-and-drop) to queue items for shredding.
• Review the list carefully — shredding is irreversible.

4. Select overwrite method

• Choose an overwrite standard (e.g., 1-pass zero, 3-pass DoD, 7-pass Gutmann) if available.
• Higher pass counts increase security but take longer.

5. Start shredding

• Click Shred or Start to begin.
• Wait until the process completes; do not interrupt power or close the app mid-process.

6. Optional: Wipe free space

• To remove remnants of deleted files, use the Wipe Free Space feature to overwrite unused disk space.
• Select the drive, choose an overwrite method, and start the wipe.

7. Verify and finish

• Confirm the items no longer exist in the file system.
• Optionally repeat with a stronger overwrite if required.

Safety notes

• Back up anything you might need — shredded files cannot be recovered.
• Prefer multi-pass methods for highly sensitive data.
• For whole-disk secure erasure, use a dedicated full-disk wipe tool or follow manufacturer guidance.
