Secure Eraser

Secure Eraser permanently deletes files using the U.S. Department of Defense DoD 5220.22-M standard — a military-grade 3-pass overwrite method that makes data recovery virtually impossible.

HOW IT WORKS

Your file is overwritten three times before deletion:

• Pass 1 — Overwrites with zeros (0x00) to erase all original data
• Pass 2 — Overwrites with ones (0xFF) to scrub residual traces
• Pass 3 — Overwrites with cryptographically secure random data to scramble any remaining patterns

After all three passes, the file is permanently deleted from your device.

FEATURES

• DoD 5220.22-M compliant 3-pass secure overwrite
• Real-time progress tracking for each pass
• Recent erase history for your reference
• Works with any file type via the Files app

WHEN TO USE

• Before selling or giving away your device

• When you need to ensure deleted files cannot be recovered
• Anytime standard deletion is not enough

Simply select a file, confirm the erase, and Secure Eraser handles the rest. Your data is gone — permanently.
