Stellar File Eraser
Permanently erase files, folders and free space
MacFrom $29.99
The verdict
Stellar File Eraser wipes files, folders and the free space on a Mac so deleted data cannot be recovered, which the normal Trash does not guarantee. It also clears traces left by apps, the system and browsers, such as history and saved form data. That makes it a last step before you sell, hand down or return a Mac or an external drive.
Get it if
You are selling or passing on a Mac or drive and want chosen files gone for good.
Skip it if
You only need to wipe a whole Mac before selling it. Erase All Content and Settings does that for free.
What it helps you do
- Erase files so they cannot be recovered
- Wipe free space left by deleted files
- Clear browser history and saved form data
- Remove app and system traces
