Free File Shredder 8.1.0 - free application and component notices

The application is free to use and includes open-source components based on BleachBit. Component licences, original notices and corresponding source are supplied with this release. Their individual licence rights are not restricted by this installer. Lucide SVG icons retain ISC / applicable Feather MIT notices. Microsoft and other runtime notices remain with the application.

Shredding is irreversible. This app targets selected regular files, not free-space wiping, whole drives or backup copies. SSD wear levelling, copy-on-write storage, cloud versions and snapshots can retain earlier data.

Setup preserves saved appearance preferences. The uninstaller removes tracked program files and shortcuts. Keep personal data outside the installation folder.

Interactive welcome Next downloads and opens its unchanged official Agree / Decline invitation before this application licence. Opening it does not accept participation. Skip the download or choose Decline to continue without RK. A failed/unavailable invitation does not block this application. Silent setup never downloads or launches RK or the main application. No research consent is inferred from an exit code.
