12. AVG File Shredder
AVG File Shredder has been designed to delete files absolutely securely, that is with no chance to recover
them, even with advanced software tools for this purpose.
To shred a file or folder, right-click it in a file manager (Windows Explorer, Total Commander, ...) and select
Permanently shred with AVG in the context menu. Files in the Recycle Bin can be shredded as well. If a
specific file in a specific location (e.g. CD-ROM) cannot be shredded reliably, you will be notified, or the option
in the context menu will not be available at all.
Please always bear in mind: Once you shred a file, it is gone forever.
