This product would be very useful for someone who deals with a large volume of secure documents that need to be permanently removed from a computer. In the Plug-Ins Preference pane you can check the option to install the contextual plug-in, which will enable you to delete a specific file by right-clicking on it. You can also check the options to play sounds and display a warning before erasing occurs. In the General Preference pane, you can set the erasing level for files as well as for CDs and DVDs. This is not as fast as emptying the trash the traditional way, but if you need it gone for good, it's worth the wait. During testing, we had around 440MB worth of trash to delete, and the app took around a minute to complete the process. There's not really a user interface, but the app will pop up a warning window asking you if you're sure you want to erase the contents of your trash. Simply drag the app to your Applications folder and double-click on its icon to start it, instantly. While the built-in Empty Trash function on a Mac provides a strong level of security, Permanent Eraser for Mac uses the Gutmann encryption method, which is five times more powerful, to accomplish the most secure removal of information from your system.ĭownloading and installing Permanent Eraser for Mac takes a couple of seconds.
