Quick Wiper Review

Quick Wiper wasn’t merely designed to wipe files – it was built with the intention of wiping the most sensitive, secure, and hardest to wipe files.  And QuickWiper takes the word “wipe” quite seriously, as distinct from “erase” or “delete” or “remove” (though not so distinct from, say, “obliterate”).  When QuickWiper wipes a file, that files is rendered permanently unrecoverable.  QuickWiper’s greatest feature, perhaps, is it’s user-friendliness.  There is an abundance of information available on how to maximize your use of QuickWiper to get rid of sensitive data and free up valuable disk space.

As easy as Quick Wiper is to use, however, it’s not all that effective (in comparison to the competition, that is).
It supports NO plugins for wiping files and folders from any applications other than the ones included

 

 
Ease of Use
Ease of Use

Quick Wiper asks for confirmation each and every time it’s going to wipe a file – protecting you from losing something you wanted to keep.

The interface is easy enough to comprehend – it just lacks a bit of versatility (like operating with 4 fingers rather than 5)

Comprehensive online manual

Extensive tutorials on various specific and relevant subjects

Huge FAQ and a separate, searchable Knowledge Base
