I use shredder.exe. It is less than 150kb and fast. As I work, I can move files to be deleted into a 'new folder', planted anywhere. When I am done, shredder.exe takes the 'new folder', and seconds later, it is gone. Loading individual files works fine, too.

@JudyGarland: Have you tested on WinXP? I ask because sometimes we list "system requirements / runs on" rather than "supported". For example, a lot of tools here on the site were built before it came out, but we'll list Win10 if it's functional in testing.

“Over the years [Chrome] has gained a reputation for being something of a resource hog, gobbling up your PC’s memory like it’s going out of style.” Starting with version 108, the Chrome desktop browser has a feature called Memory Saver that deactivates tabs that aren’t currently being used. When a user accesses a deactivated tab, it automatically reloads. A user can turn Memory Saver on or off. A user can also exclude specific sites from Memory Saver, keeping tabs for those sites active. See:

I've added a note (with references) that portable versions of Chrome are no longer supported. They still work, but with bypasses and an uncertain future. |

1GB for this app. Yikes! If you do not need advanced editing, try PixBuilder Studio at a fraction of the size. |
