EchoPress is a Python script designed to securely delete sensitive files on Windows systems, making them unrecoverable using advanced file recovery algorithms. It overwrites the contents of the file with random data multiple times before deleting it, ensuring that the data cannot be reconstructed.
- Overwrites files with random data a specified number of times.
- Renames the file to a random name before deletion to obscure its original name.
- Simple command-line interface for easy usage.
-
Ensure you have Python installed on your Windows system.
