Shredding the file is by far the safest type of file deletion system. It overwrites the selected files with random bits, making sure that no one can recover the deleted files.  
 
WARNING: If you don't know what the variables in the shred option are, please do not change them. In case they are changed accidentally, click on the "Restore default settings" button.
