Stellar Wipe is hard drive scrubbing software which helps users effectively erase files and folders from the file system that are no longer required.
The application checks the disks for traces of files which exist on the system such as Internet history, cookies and autofill. It works as a privacy protection program and in turn, helps save memory and space on your system which otherwise would be eaten up.
The program is a utility which cleans up the system. For those who use Stellar Wipe to protect their own privacy, files which have been removed are done so permanently and therefore non-recoverable.
In the end, this program is a little bit overpriced for what it does and since freeware alternatives are available, has not really become as popular as it may have if it was a little bit easier on the pocket book.
