O&O SafeErase

O&O SafeErase is Windows software for permanently removing data from PCs. It handles individual files and folders, entire drives, and unused free space. Certified overwrite methods are available for the erasure process, and scheduled shredding supports recurring deletion jobs. The software supports Windows 10 and Windows 11. It is sold as perpetual, one-time licenses rather than a free plan: the one-PC license costs $$29.95 once, while the five-PC license costs $$49.90 once. A 30-day trial is listed. O&O SafeErase comes from O&O, a company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. Its scope suits users who need configurable deletion of stored data, from selected items through complete drives and free-space cleanup.

O&O SafeErase covers file, folder, drive, and free-space deletion on supported Windows versions. A trial is available, but continued use requires a paid perpetual license.

It suits Windows 10 or 11 users who need to erase files, folders, drives, or free space. Scheduled shredding is useful for recurring deletion tasks.
