IDEA: Add CCleaner secure file delete to Explore/Opus context menu

In the command line you use "%1" as placeholder for the file or folder that was right clicked.  There are many examples on the web.

@tomos @IainB
Thanks for your comments.

I know it has a feature of secure delete. There is a small drawback though.
When running a file-recovery tool (e.g. Recuva, R-Undelete or so) using a kind 'deep scan' method,
it will display the foldername/path.
Even though the files are randomly renamed and even though they may not be recovered, the paths/foldernames
may reveal information about the possible contents of the (unrecoverable) files.
like:
file: xyttouuxblablabla.xxx
path:\ForumPasswords

Possibly the only solution is to run a drive "wipe free space" at regular intervals.
e.g. CCleaner fills path with ZZZ's.

So, let it rest.

VERY interesting. Thanks for that bit of knowledge. I must check whether xplorer² is similar.

Below examples:

deleted testfiles from a 'test'-folder using BCWipe
(settings: wipe: MFT Records, Directory Slacks and NTFS Transactions Log File)
all 1 pass

deleted some other testfolder from a folder named 'RWC Folder'
(settings: wipe Alternate Data Streams and wipe cluster tips)
all 1 pass

Then run CCleaner settings:
1 pass,  wipe alternate data streams, wipe cluster tips, wipe MFT Free Space

You see, now, folders are filled with 'ZZZ'
BCWipe, Wipe Free Space of a drive shows something like just Q:\?\

shred does a good job but it isn't FBI proof

you can shred a file and try to restore it yourself and see how it goes
