BCWipe ensures that another person will not restore files you have deleted from a disk. The program uses military-grade procedures to shred deleted file contents. BCWipe wipes individual files and folders, wipes free disk space, wipes the swap file to remove any possible remaining sensitive data, and wipes directory entries. BCWipe includes the Task Manager for setting up predefined times when files are wiped out automatically. A swap-file-encrypting utility is included and provides the ultimate protection of swap file content. BCWipe is a shell extension for Windows 9.x, NT, 2000, and XP and is highly integrated with the operating system.

Version 3.05.1 wipes files with names in Unicode charset.
