Beware: The contents of a file are not cleared when normally deleting a file. Forensic tools and file recovery tools can be used to recover files which have not been securely deleted.


FShred is a simple, handy app that makes deleted files on your internal storage unrecoverable by overwriting all available space with random data. This means recoverable data from deleted files, such as images, videos, databases, is replaced with useless bytes supplied by a random generator.

This app has been tested with multiple file recovery applications such as GT File Recovery and no deleted files could be recovered. If you are still able to recover files after running FShred, please try and run it again.

Please Note: This app does not delete ANY existing files when 'shredding' your internal storage. Your existing data will be unchanged throughout and after the process.

This application contains no advertisements or in app purchases. It is completely free and convenient to use and will remain this way forever.

Additional Features:
• The app acts as a share target so you can securely delete files from your favourite file manager!
• You can now choose which storage device you would like to shred the free space of.
• Tested with multiple recovery/forensic tools.
- Fixed share target.
The app should now be able to shred files and directories without any errors when sending the files from a file manager or other app.
