Hardwipe is a free file wiper and drive cleaner for Windows. It can be used to permanently erase,
or to "hard wipe", data on disk and portable storage media (i.e. USB drives and memory sticks) in order to prevent
personal or sensitive business information from ever being recovered. It can wipe entire drives, wipe
files individually, and sanitize unused drive space. It runs from within the OS and supports right-click
context menus in Windows Explorer. Or you can simply use it as a standalone application if you prefer.
