🛡️ Secure Delete (Best Effort) & UX (v3.3.0)

Major update introducing privacy-focused deletion features and enhanced settings.

  • Added "Secure Delete" modes in Settings: 1-pass zeros and 1-pass random data.
  • Best Effort: Attempts to overwrite file content before deletion.
  • Payload Protection: Strictly wipes only files within $Recycle.Bin matching specific patterns ($R...), ensuring safety of other data.
  • Feedback: Detailed notifications about how many files were successfully overwritten and if any were locked.
• Improved UX:
  • Confirmation Dialogs: Now clearly state which mode is active (Normal vs Secure) and warn about disk load.
  • Warnings: One-time warning when enabling secure mode about SSD wear and limitations.

🛠️ Improvements

• Tests: Added unit tests for secure deletion logic and settings normalization.

📝 Notes

• SSD Users: Please note that due to hardware wear leveling, absolute secure deletion cannot be guaranteed on modern SSDs/NVMe drives without full disk encryption/sanitization. Binity does its best to overwrite data at the OS level.
