Features

  • Instantly erase user data, application traces, and sensitive files in a single click.
  • Secure deletion: Files are overwritten, not just moved to the recycle bin.
  • Clear clipboard contents
  • Flush DNS cache
  • Erase event logs
  • Delete most recently used (MRU) lists
  • Remove thumbnail caches
  • Empty the recycle bin (system default)
  • Set overwrite passes (1 or more) for each deletion:
  • 1 pass: Fast, effective for most cases
  • 3+ passes: Higher security, slower
  • Warning: 0 passes disables overwriting and is NOT recommended
  • Add your own scripts (e.g., batch files) to run alongside the deletion process
  • Example: Dismount VeraCrypt volumes automatically
  • Optional: Corrupt Windows login files after deletion to prevent further access
  • Use with caution: This will render Windows unbootable and require reinstallation
  • Play a custom or built-in music track during deletion
  • Music stops when deletion is complete-useful as an audible signal if you step away
  • Overview of selected actions before launch
  • Settings for post-deletion behavior: auto-close, force restart, etc.
  • Direct links to tutorials and help resources

Security Notes

  • Overwriting: Files are overwritten according to your settings, making recovery nearly impossible.
  • Recycle Bin: Emptied using Windows default; secure overwrite for the bin may be added in future versions.
  • Custom Scripts: Scripts run independently and can be used to automate additional emergency tasks.
  • File Deletion: Files are securely overwritten (unless you set passes to 0), making recovery extremely unlikely.
  • Music Player: It provides an audible signal when the deletion process is finished, useful if you need to leave your computer during an emergency wipe.
  • Use with Caution: Bugfish Nuke is designed for emergency situations. Use with care, especially the destructive system options.

Warning: Use the "Corrupt Windows System" option only in extreme situations. This action is irreversible and will require a full system reinstall.
