Drive Wiper - Wipe Single Files/Folders in CCleaner

[OLLI_S]

Hello,

 

in CCleaner (Desktop) I miss a feature to wipe (securely delete) single files and single folders.

I know there are other tools on the market that perform this, but in CCleaner you offer the wipe feature already, so please extend it to single files and folders.

 

Let me add single files and folders that I want to delete to a list and then execute the deletion of all files on the list with one click.

This way I can add multiple files and folders to the list and then start the wipe.

 

It would be a feature that makes CCleaner more powerful and a consequent step in the evolution of CCleaner.

 

Note: this feature is also missing in CCleaner Cloud so I added this suggestion also to the CCleaner Cloud Forums here:

Several people have asked for the ability to right-click files/folders to secure delete them, like in this recent post.

 

I like your ideal too if I'm correctly understanding it. Are you referring to being able to drag 'n' drop files/folders onto the cleaner window so that CCleaner can then secure delete them? Of so that would be very useful.

 

It's something which is long overdue to be implemented.

Hello,

 

I think of two possible ways of adding files and folders:

1. drag files and folders from a file manager to the CCleaner window
2. a button that opens a "select files/folder" dialog

In both cases the selected files/folders are added to a "deletion" list.

When I click the "Wipe" button the files/folders from this list are secure deleted on my PC.

 

Hope these details help.
