With the rapid growth of digital storage technologies, organizations, government agencies, law enforcement units, enterprises, and individual users face two major challenges: securely destroying sensitive data to prevent unauthorized recovery and recovering deleted digital evidence during forensic investigations. Existing solutions generally focus on either secure data deletion or file recovery and often support limited storage technologies and file systems. This forces investigators and cyberse
The proposed solution aims to develop an integrated software system consisting of three core modules: (1) Secure Drive Eraser, (2) Secure File & (3) Folder Eraser, and Advanced File Carving and Recovery.

The proposed solution aims to develop an integrated software system consisting of three core modules: (1) Secure Drive Eraser, (2) Secure File & (3) Folder Eraser, and Advanced File Carving and Recovery. The Secure Drive Eraser Module should securely sanitize HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and external storage devices while providing verification mechanisms, audit logging, tamper-resistant reporting, and compliance with industry and government data destruction standards. The Secure File and Folder Eraser Module should enable selective secure deletion of files and folders, remove associated metadata and residual traces, support batch operations, verify erasure success, and provide audit reporting across multiple file systems and operating systems. The Advanced File Carving and Reco
