Hello again,

It would be really cool to have the Secure Delete option on the drive context menu. I tried with a registry hack but I can't find a way to parse the ":".

I'm using sdelete quite often with VHD/VHDX files. I first moun them, runs a defrag then sdelete and finally compress them. It's quite useful for Citrix PVS. Having an option directly in the UI makes it easier.

Hi,

I can't make this tools work behind a proxy. Also, most enteprise servers won't have direct Internet access, so it would be ncie if the tool could work when sdelete is detected in Syswow64. Thank you! Regards,

This tool is great. The only thing I wish it would have is a way to output the deleted files/folders to a log file with a time stamp.
This is useful when dealing with security auditors who want proof that the file(s) or folder(s) were securely deleted.
than you.

In this issue we will work with @brwertz80 to translate the app.

These are the strings:

Right now my current culture is en-US, but in my country people use es-CO

How do I tell SDelete GUI to eraser ONLY Free Space?

I miss a context menu for a drive letters similar to "Erase free space with SDelete"

In Windows 10 , sDelete-GUI 1.3.0 searches in sysWow64 folder for sDelete.exe instead of (to search for) sDelete64.exe and NOT searches in system32 folder for sDelete.exe.... This is a big BUG.... Only sDelete64.exe can be copied to sysWow folder. If we copy sDelete.exe to sysWow folder (instead of sDelete64.exe) , for the next time , Windows will automatically remove sDelete.exe from the sysWow folder. Also, the program doesn't search in system32 folder for sDelete.exe....

Hi,

I'm trying to use release v1.2.88, but when I run the exe, I'm immediately presented with a 'SDelete-Gui has stopped working' window. This is displayed as the problem details:

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. SDelete v2.01 exists at: C:\Windows\System32\sdelete.exe

Any ideas? Thanks!

SDelete-GUI automatically setup Windows Explorer context menu.

In case I don't want to use it any longer:

How do I remove this context menu later?

Hello,
I would like to remove SDelete-Gui from the menu but there is no installation, so how to do?
Thanks in advance

Hey!
It seems the latest release 1.0.66, 401f0d4 is broken - when I try to run it, it simply exists.

Since it's only 23 KB, while previous versions were around 350 KB, I checked with dotPeek. Turns out the dependencies were are not included the executable. I assume it must be a faulty configuration in AppVeyor since the commits between the two versions look okay.

Checking the logs of the two build (1.0.66 log and 1.0.62 log), you can see, that the WinFodyTarget build step was skipped last time.

It would be interesting to add an alert to confirm if you really want to delete the file, this would avoid accidents!

I marked multiple (e.g. 20) files in a directory, then I right click and selected "Secure delete" from context menu.

Now SDelete GUI opens 20 (!) command prompt windows and tries to erase these 20 files in parallel. That freezes almost my hard disk transfer and my system.

How can I tell SDelete GUI to erase all marked files sequentially one of the other and NOT in parallel?

Can this be added in next release?
