If you browse a lot of websites every day or if you use a lot of applications, then your hard disk is probably full of temporary and useless data generated by these applications and the Windows itself. These data can be intercepted by hackers or viruses and can put all your passwords, bank accounts and other related information in danger. That's why it's recommended to delete all this information from time to time. Windows includes a limited tool for removing temporary data and so do most web browsers. That's why it would be a good idea to install a 3rd party application specially designed for this.

One such application is DataWipe. This simple Windows program can completely remove all the temporary data generated by web browsers, applications and the operating system itself. The program's functionality is based on tabs, allowing the user to easily find a desired option in the shortest time possible. The user has the possibility to scan the system for obsolete items before deleting them. This will make him certain that the removed data isn't actually needed by some applications.

Beginners who would like to clean their systems without going through all the program's tabs can use the Complete wipe button, which automatically cleans all the traces of the system, including the ones generated by web browsers and applications. Speaking of which, DataWipe supports most web browsers for cleaning their traces.

Using the options section of the program, the user can configure the program to run together with Windows at startup and also to wipe obsolete data automatically, from time to time. One can also select the wiping algorithm that will be used for deleting data. Selecting a more advanced algorithm will make the data completely unrecoverable, but it will take more time to completely clean the system.

Pros

It can remove all the temporary data generated by web browsers, applications and the operating system itself. Besides that, it can be configured to automatically wipe the useless data and also to start together with Windows. What's more, the program includes a button for cleaning all the temporary data with a single mouse click.

Cons

The trial version doesn't allow cleaning the system using the single-click mode. DataWipe is a complete software for removing any temporary and useless data from the operating system, thus keeping all your personal and private information safe.
