Welcome to the Secure-Delete wiki! Overview

Secure-Delete is a cross-platform, Rust-based command-line utility for secure file destruction. It performs multi-pass overwriting, random renaming, and unlinking to make recovery of deleted data practically impossible. It’s small, portable, and dependency-light — built to serve as a professional-grade replacement for the ad-hoc PowerShell and batch shredders that inspired it.

Key goals:

Minimal footprint

True cross-platform behavior

Predictable, auditable, open-source design

Suitable for integration into scripts, pipelines, or larger security suites
