Permadelete is Free, Open Source, and aims to be a simple amusing way to delete shred files and folders. It nicely gives you a choice of how many times you want to overwrite, and it provides a link to the site which explains their method. Those who are technically attuned to the methods may wish that they would use the method names vs explanation, and may prefer Eraser program. Many people may want to overwrite an entire disk drive and this program doesn't provide an "easy button" to do so, however, the programs KillDisk and Hardwipe do. I got error messages when installing to Windows 10.. which I did twice.
Does not indicate ongoing progress. I took a 33 GB file and had it deleted to test. It should take a long time (I believe 1h, 1h30m), but there simply isn't anything. I don't think it's even deleting safely because it's impossible to be that quick with 3 steps. So I'm going to continue with Eraser anyway.
