Choose from some of these...

wipe.zip        Wipe (erase) files
wipevk11.zip    Deletes files by overwriting them by V.Kolhinen

ftp ftp.cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/dirutil/
exdel100.zip  22625  940719  Deletes files so UNDELETEs cannot recover them

wpr020.zip    16507  941125  Dir deleter, checks for root & can wipe files

ftp ftp.cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/pcmag/
vol12n13.zip    93652  930827  PcMag: Find,ShutDn,WipeDe,MovChr,ShiftK,ExeLoo
vol12n15.zip   214361  930827  PcMag: BuildM,BuildW,DemoDl,Multi,Trash,BtnGo

ftp ftp.cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/fileutil/
movewipe.zip   20622  861109  Move a file, overwrite deleted original

ftp ftp.cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/diskutil/
clnfil23.zip  25898  910216  Wipes out sensitive data in unused file space
coverup1.zip  17408  910426  Erases unused sectors and tails of files
ess1.zip      66864  931114  3 DOS tools: 1Pass dskcopy/FastDskwipe/kbd dvr

Coverup1 is very thorough: it operates on the whole disk, wiping out all the
unallocated sectors and also the unused tails between <eof> and end-of-sector.
(I confirmed it on a floppy, using a sector edit to view coverup's handiwork.)

Caution: all above would have been written for use with uncompressed drives.
