Shredding files, folders, and disks

Shredder ensures that the information contained in deleted files
and folders in your Recycle Bin and in your Temporary Internet
Files folder cannot be recovered, even with special tools. With
Shredder, you can specify how many times (up to 10) you want an
item to be shredded. A higher number of shredding passes
increases your level of secure file deletion.
