File Shredder is a good eraser application.

The downside is that it does not "shred" the directory table entry after you have shredded a file. This means that directory names, but not files, are recoverable. (see here for further details: http://blog.wisefaq.com/2010/09/14/file-shredder-well-fails/ )

File names are recoverable too. It appears Recuva also leaves file names intact. I guess I'll have to look at Eraser again.

no name

the person above me is from past i am from future you are hell wrong Recuva can't recovery those shredded file if you set it into Gutmann Method.
