The new O&O DiskImage 21 Premium: Backup and protect your data – it's never been this easy! O&O SafeErase 17: Safely deletes data and Internet traces under Windows 11
Every use of applications, every visit to a website in the browser, every file change - everything leaves traces on the PC that can be reconstructed by unauthorized third parties. With the new version of O&O SafeErase, these traces can be safely deleted and privacy can also be protected under Windows 11.
Files that aren’t deleted securely can be restored very easily and without any special expertise. The integrated O&O SafeErase analysis feature searches for files that weren’t deleted securely and arranges for them to be permanently deleted immediately. In this same way, it’s possible to securely delete files that have long been removed from computers as well as external devices and disks.
With O&O SafeErase 17, O&O Software GmbH is releasing the latest version of its security application for data erasure. Hard disks, partitions as well as files and folders can be securely deleted with just a mouse click. Cookies or temporary files can also be deleted in this way.
O&O SafeErase now also supports Windows 11
The newly released version 17 of O&O SafeErase now also supports Microsoft Windows 11 and can still be installed on all Windows versions from Windows 8.1.
Support for the latest browser versions
When surfing the Internet, O&O SafeErase ensures increased protection of sensitive data and supports all current browser versions.
Cookies, form data or Internet histories that Microsoft Edge saves can be deleted individually or in bulk. With Google Chrome, the Chrome Extensions are also supported, so that any data stored here can also be deleted. With Mozilla Firefox, bookmarks and history can be deleted separately.
Six deletion methods to choose from
Files that have not been securely deleted can be restored very easily and without any special knowledge. The integrated analysis function of O&O SafeErase searches for insecurely deleted files and allows them to be securely deleted immediately. A subsequent, secure deletion of files that have already been removed is also possible here.
O&O SafeErase offers six different deletion methods to choose from. The deletion methods differ in the number of runs and the type of overwriting process. The sensitive data is deleted and overwritten so securely that reconstruction, even with special software, is no longer possible. Thanks to the integration of O&O SafeErase in Windows Explorer, files, directories and even entire partitions can be deleted directly from the context menu.
Delete an entire computer
Entire computer deletion allows all data to be securely erased prior to sale, transfer or disposal of the computer. All files, settings, applications and the operating system are deleted in such a way that recovery is impossible. With the TotalErase function, a computer can be completely and securely erased without a boot medium (e.g. boot CD). Administrator rights are required for these system-critical functions.
Specially adapted deletion methods are offered for use on Solid State Drives (SSDs), so that SSDs can be deleted just as intensively as normal hard drives.
