Windows 10 - SDELETE Secure Delete Data And Clear Free Space On Drives

Using SDELETE.exe from Microsoft's Mark Russinovich one can quickly securely delete files and folders from a drive to Department of Defense Standards DOD 5220.22-M so that they cannot be recovered by others.

This tool also enables one to zero out the free data on a virtual drive to enable it to be shrunk. This is also done in a secure way that safeguards your important data.
