Frequently asked questions
Why is SpeedDelete faster than Windows Explorer?
SpeedDelete uses direct filesystem calls and bypasses all Explorer overhead including Recycle Bin indexing, shell extensions, and UI delays. This results in deletions that are typically 10x faster or more.
Is it safe to use?
Yes! SpeedDelete is a portable, zero-footprint utility with no installer or background services. It only deletes what you explicitly tell it to delete. The Forensic Removal mode ensures data cannot be recovered.
Do I need admin rights?
No admin rights needed for files you own. Only files requiring elevated permissions will prompt for admin access.
Does it work on external drives?
Yes! SpeedDelete works on any storage: internal SSD/HDD, external USB drives, and network drives. Performance depends on the drive speed.
Can I recover deleted files?
Fast Delete: Files may be recoverable with recovery tools. Forensic Removal (PRO): Data is overwritten 3 times and cannot be recovered by commercially available tools.
What makes the PRO version worth it?
PRO unlocks multi-file/folder selection, unlimited Forensic Removal, full deletion history with search/export, and smart queue consolidation. For power users who delete frequently, it saves hours.
