By default, the shredding level is set to 1 pass. However, to shred files even more securely, you can choose a higher number of passes.
Note: The greater the number of passes, the longer it takes for Shredder to complete the task.
To edit Shredder settings:
1 Click the Settings button and click Cleanup.
2 Click the Shredder tab.
3 Select a shredding option:
• Select Normal shredding (1 pass, quickest) to delete the file in one step.
• Select DoD shredding (3 passes) to overwrite data with random numbers in three steps.
• Select Enhanced shredding (7 passes) to overwrite data with cryptographically secure random number sequences in seven steps.
• Select Gutmann shredding (35 passes) to overwrite data with a series of patterns in 35 steps.
• Select a custom number of passes.
4 Click OK.
