Active@ ZDelete

ZDelete is a data cleanup and erase utility that can delete selected folders and groups of files without any possibility of data recovery afterward. Access to the drive's data is made on the physical level via BIOS (Basic Input-Output Subsystem) bypassing the operating system’s logical drive structure organization.
