iShredder Data Eraser v7.2.2
Protectstar Inc.About this app
Developer Description
Military‑grade erase: wipe photos, files & empty space to protect privacy.
Securely erase photos, files and empty space so deleted data becomes extremely difficult to recover – even with recovery or forensic tools. Run a wipe before you sell, trade in, recycle or hand over your device to keep your private data private.
WHY NORMAL DELETION ISN’T ENOUGH
Deleting a file or running a basic factory reset usually removes only directory entries. The data itself can remain on storage and may be recovered later. iShredder overwrites empty space and selected areas with certified algorithms to help remove traces of old data (not just “hidden”).
MILITARY‑GRADE, CERTIFIED ERASURE
iShredder supports certified erasure methods such as DoD 5220.22‑M, NIST SP 800‑88, BSI TL‑03423 and other international standards trusted by government and military organizations. These algorithms overwrite data multiple times with carefully chosen patterns to make recovery extremely difficult.
The Android app has been independently audited and awarded DEKRA MASA L1 security certification, confirming compliance with OWASP MASVS Level 1 guidelines. iShredder has also received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025 for robust erasure methods and strong app security.

Most removal methods are not suitable for SSDs and designed for HDDs only. It would be good to indicate in the application menu against the removal method that it is suitable for the phone and that it is not suitable in order not to mislead people because there are many removal methods and sometimes they are not effective.
Hopefully helps
No matter what method used (even Protectstar ASDA 2017 in Military version with 95% Max Free Space Erase Overwrite, Updated Jul 7,2025 V.7.2) , my personal data likes personal pictures, videos still can be recovery back after erased by Ultdata App 😵 I used Android mobile POCO C65. Why they still can be recovery???
it's actually not deleting junk on your mobile device, much to my surprise. I just tested it, and needless to say, I'm a little irritated, especially given that I purchased it. I would proceed with caution. I am concerned that this is not actually fully functional.
