About Eraser
Eraser is a Windows utility for deleting sensitive data by overwriting it multiple times with selected patterns. Overwriting is intended to make the previous contents harder to recover than ordinary file deletion, which typically removes a directory reference without immediately replacing the underlying data. The product’s described function is secure removal from a hard drive. The available description does not specify which storage technologies or file systems are supported, or how the overwrite patterns are selected. Erasure is destructive: once data has been overwritten, it may not be recoverable through ordinary means. Users should confirm that the selected data is no longer needed before using the tool.
