Publisher's description of R-Wipe & Clean 6
From R-tools Technology:R-Wipe & Clean is a complete solution to wipe useless files and keep your computer privacy. Irretrievably deletes private records of your on- and off-line activities, such as temporary internet files, history, cookies, autocomplete forms and passwords, swap files, recently opened documents list, Explorer MRUs, temporary files, traces from more than 100 third-party applications, and free up your disk space. The utility wipes files and unused disk space using either fast or secure erase algorithms. All files and folders may be combined in wipe lists to erase them in a single procedure. Supports both the FAT and NTFS file systems. All separate wiping and cleaning tasks can be combined in one or more erasing procedures launched immediately or at predefined times or events as a background task. Version 6 includes Popup Blocker and supports Internet Explorer, NETSCAPE, AOL, MSN, Opera, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and BT Yahoo browsers as well as the Google and MSN toolbar.

Version: R-Wipe & Clean 6
Pros: theres not many of these types of programs around but this one is the best by a mile! it turned 3.2gig of space left into 4.1gig which is amazing for my crappy pc! its compatible with opera which is great, easy to use !
Cons: only 15 day trial:( accidently did a scan where i clean/hide my empty space so the c drive has basically no space left but i just scanned again and problem solved

Version: R-Wipe & Clean 6
"Good, I'd rate it 3.5 stars if I could"
Pros: Nice interface; easy to use; generally well featured.
Cons: Doesn't provide much flexibility in overwriting scheme selection--for example, you cannot create your own custom schemes.
More importantly, R-Wipe & Clean cannot overwrite the cluster tips of existing files when it overwrites free space. It only overwrites cluster tips when it deletes files (in which case it is highly arguable whether or not we're even talking about a "cluster tip" anymore, since the entire cluster is freed after the file is deleted--there's no such thing as a "cluster tip" in an unallocated cluster). Since even very small Windows partitions can easily contain 50-MB or more (sometimes much more) in the way of cluster tips, I consider this a moderately important omission in functionality. (By the way, I've verified the behavior I mention using a special forensic hex editor function.)
