ShredIt

Information

You can use ShredIt to shred files, folders, the free space on a disk, or the entire contents of a drive. It will shred data on the hard drive, an external hard drive, a floppy disk, a zip disk, windows formatted media, a RAM disk, any disk you can attach you can attach to your Macintosh (except Read-only disks and CD ROMs).

Configure ShredIt to ask you before it shreds so that you can confirm or cancel shredding.

Choose the overwrite pattern and the number of times it will overwrite the original data. (To better protect your privacy, the ARC Standard Write Pattern and ARC Standard Number of Writes are confidential.)

Use ShredIt to shred the free space on the disk. This will ensure that anything you have previously thrown in the trash cannot be recovered.

Shred the contents of the Hard drive, but not the Operating System. You may want to do this before transferring ownership of the machine to another person. For further information on this, please see the Read me file supplied in the download folder.
