Terms Of Use
Use the app within its supported scope and review the included license notices.
Free Desktop Utility
Free File Shredder is provided as a free Windows desktop utility. Check the current supported scope and inspect results before relying on them.
Use Files And Settings You May Change
Only select files you own and can permanently remove. Check that they are not the only copies of important records. Keep backups elsewhere if you still need the contents; separately consider backup and cloud retention when your goal is disposal.
Open-Source Components
Included components retain their own copyright, license and warranty notices. See Open Source for corresponding source and upstream project links. The modified interface is an independent product, not an endorsement by the upstream maintainers.
No Guaranteed Result
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.
Optional Software Is Separate
An optional research invitation has its own visible Agree / Decline screen and policies. Declining it does not prevent using the free application.
