When you delete a file normally, it's still there. Anyone with recovery software can pull it back. Vanish overwrites your files so they're gone — not hidden, not recoverable, gone.
Files being permanently erased on your machine. Nothing leaves your device.
Your OS marks deleted files as "available space." The data stays until something else overwrites it. Recovery tools exploit this gap easily.
Data remains on disk. Recoverable with free software.
Overwritten with random data. No recovery possible.
Vanish supports internationally recognized data erasure standards. Pick your threat model.
Crypto erase for SSDs. Cryptographic key destruction renders data permanently inaccessible. Fast and effective for modern drives.
Three overwrite passes: zeros, ones, random data. Standard for U.S. Department of Defense disposal requirements. Trusted for decades.
35 targeted overwrite passes. Paranoid-level erasure for magnetic media. When "very sure" isn't sure enough.
Single-pass zero overwrite. Fast, effective, and verifiable. Good balance of speed and security for most use cases.
Select specific files and folders. Vanish overwrites them and verifies they're unrecoverable before reporting done.
Your deleted files are still there — in the gaps. Vanish fills free space with random data, permanently erasing everything you've ever deleted on this drive.
History, cookies, cached passwords, autofill data — Vanish targets your browser traces too. Full privacy cleanup, not just files.
Selling your device? Vanish generates a signed erasure certificate proving all data was wiped to NIST standards — needed for ITAD compliance and peace of mind.
Until a file is overwritten, it belongs to whoever finds it next. Vanish makes sure what you delete stays deleted — permanently, verifiably, on your terms.
Permanent data erasure for the privacy-conscious.
