Review summary

SDelete - File Shredder is praised for effectively deleting stubborn and hidden files, including corrupted ones that other apps cannot handle, and it is generally easy to use. However, users frequently report serious issues such as app crashes causing phone restarts, failure to delete files on external SD cards despite permissions, leftover cache files causing storage warnings, and unclear error messages. Additionally, the app has not been updated in years, contributing to its instability and user frustration.
