This project provides a secure file deletion algorithm designed to permanently erase data by overwriting files with customizable patterns. It ensures that deleted files cannot be recovered by standard recovery tools, enhancing data privacy and security.

The algorithm supports multiple overwrite passes with user-defined sequences, adapting to different security standards and user needs. It is implemented in C# with a focus on performance and reliability, suitable for integration into larger security applications or as a standalone utility.

Comprehensive documentation is available on the author’s site, detailing the technical approach and usage guidelines: https://www.sicurpas.it/my-algorithms.html

This project targets developers and security-conscious users who require a robust and flexible solution for secure data erasure.

Features

  • Secure file deletion through multiple overwrite passes.
