Securely shred private file

PrivacyScan’s file-shredding mode goes beyond standard file deletion—using secure erasure algorithms that meet or exceed US Department of Defense recommendations for permanent removal of sensitive data. Once shredded, these files can never be recovered, even with advanced forensic data recovery tools.

Recover essential disk space

Over time, data from your web browser can fill up your hard drive—and slow down your computer. PrivacyScan locates and deletes these space hogs, freeing up valuable disk space and helping to keep your Mac running smoothly.
