Fluxbox Shred secure file deletion
From Linux Mint
set up
I added this to the root account only as it is a secure operation but you can add it to the normal user if you like
It is the dangerous yet useful "Shred"
In a root account Thunar window
Edit > Configure Custom Actions.. > Add one and call it "Shred" with the command
xfce4-terminal -x shred -u %f
operation
This means that anything such as a list of passwords, tax document or so on -> you go as root > right click the file and "Shred"
(obviously take care)
A terminal opens, the file is overwritten many times with random 1+0's then wiped off with a row of 0's
This will take a long time on larger files and it only does one file at a time, not folders.
