If you have private information that needs deleting, you shouldn't make do with just the Recycle Bin. You need to make more of an effort to ensure that your confidential details stay confidential.

Moo0 FileShredder is a handy program that does just that. The application opens a small interface that can be expanded to see the precise details of each deletion method. There is also a blank area, which is where you drag your unwanted files to. You chose from one of the four levels of deletion - from Shred Once to Vaporize - and drag over your file. Bear in mind that dragging it into Moo0 FileShredder is all you need to do in order to delete it forever, so make really sure that you've picked the right file!

Moo0 FileShredder hasn't got many options, but the ones it does have are quite useful. You can set the program to close by simply clicking the middle mouse button, or expand or reduce the window by right-clicking. Moo0 FileShredder is also available in a variety of languages, and leaves a relatively small footprint on your machine. If you need to delete confidential files on a regular basis, it's a very good bet.
