Mutilate is designed to destroy files beyond recovery. The data in the target files you select are overwritten by 0's, 1's or random patterns of 0's and 1's. Overwriting the target file one time is all you'll need to prevent someone from undeleting your data using recovery software. If you are concerned about someone attempting to recover data by examining latent magnetic traces on your disk, however, use Mutilate to repeatedly overwrite target files. Multiple overwrites will obscure the real data's magnetic traces with garbage data.
Our Review: Remove unwanted files from the system permanently. This program overwrites the original data with 0s and 1s (machine code) and multiple overwriting makes it unrecoverable by any means. Does not support deletion of swap files (the cache files) as they cannot be overwritten during a windows session. Files are completely deleted once the computer is rebooted. Very efficient, easy to use and effective. Wicked.
