5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Why do I need Stellar File Eraser?

Stellar File Eraser is a well-equipped software with proven overwriting techniques and is developed with advanced erasure features that makes the recovery of your deleted data irrecoverable. It safely erases your system's deleted data, unrequired files and folders and also safeguards your privacy. 

2. Is it safe to use Stellar File Eraser for erasing deleted data from my system?

Yes, it is secure to use Stellar File Eraser to erase deleted data from your system. 

3. What if data of the application traces are not erased after the complete erasure process?

It happens in case, you have not closed the application during erasing process or if you are viewing newly created files and folders after the application has restarted on completion of an erasure process.

4. Can I erase a specific file using Stellar File Eraser?

Yes, you can erase some specific files by adding them to the erasure list or you can also erase selected files through Search & Erase option.

5. Does Stellar File Eraser remove data beyond recovery?

Yes, Stellar File Eraser removes data beyond recovery.

6. What if the data of System Traces are not erased after completion of an erasure process?

This problem arises in case you are viewing the recently created files or folders, as the operating system automatically creates some system traces at different time intervals.

7. Which algorithm should I choose for best erasure?

It depends upon how many times an algorithm overwrites the data precisely or the number of passes used to erase the data. More the number of passes used by the algorithm, more effective it is. Each algorithm performs a different set of features from where you can choose the suitable algorithm as per the requirement. See Erasure Algorithms, to know more.

8. What if the software is taking too long to erase the data?

It depends on the size of the data you are erasing, configuration of the system and the algorithm you are using to erase the data. A large amount of data, lesser configuration and more number of passes may consume more time for erasure.

9. I don't want to clear all my Internet activities. How can I do that?

Stellar File Eraser provides you with an option of erasing all or some specific traces of Internet Activities.
