Down from a retail sticker of $39 when offered in April this year to $14.50 now but it's still unclear as to what this commercial software does that's more effective / efficient than, for example, Piriform's long-established freeware, CCleaner.

DoYourData Super Eraser 4.0 offers selective erasure of files and folders, of hard drives, and the wiping of free space. CCleaner / Options / Settings offers selective erasure of files and folders using 3, 7 and a pointlessly paranoid 35 over-writes, as well as cluster tips and alternate data streams wipes. Wipe Free Space is another CCleaner option.

If this software has a Unique Selling Point -- i.e., that Super Eraser 4.0 safely out-performs all the many freeware erasers already in existence as stand-alone apps or as part of computer "optimization suites" -- then the developer would serve its own best interest by making that clear.

Easily installed and activated on windows 10 64 bits. Do the job well.

A suggestion to the developper : add the possibility to erase a file or a folder by the contextual menu.

Thanks doyourData and GOTD.

I do not use eraser software, it is to harsh on the HD by overwriting same zeros or ones over and over in the same places.
Delete the files you want destroyed, do a defragmentation with compact option and then copy few DVD movies to the hard drive. There will be no trace of the deleted files ever and no harm done to the HD. You can then delete the movies if you need the space.
How I know this, I challenged a hacker to retrieve the delete files and after a month of trying even using HEX editors, there were no traces of the deleted files.
