About this app

iShredder™ – secure data eraser and file shredder for Android
Keep the files you need. Securely delete the ones you do not. iShredder by Protectstar helps you erase selected photos, videos, documents and folders, and overwrite unused storage to reduce accessible traces of previously deleted files. Protect personal and work information on the phone you keep, or prepare a device for trade-in, repair or handover.

CHOOSE EXACTLY WHAT TO ERASE
Use the built-in file explorer to select private photos, downloaded PDFs, scanned documents and folders. Remove sensitive files without choosing to reset your whole phone. Check each file's location and keep a backup of anything you still need. Internal storage and supported SD cards are available within your device's access permissions.

ALREADY DELETED SENSITIVE FILES?
An unused-space wipe addresses available storage rather than files still in your folders. It writes temporary data to that space to help reduce accessible remnants of earlier files. During the operation, available space decreases and the phone may show a storage warning. Temporary wipe files are removed on normal completion. This is part of the overwrite process, not a way to increase storage capacity. If a task is interrupted, check its status and cleanup before continuing.

SELECT AN ERASURE METHOD
Choose from the methods included in your edition, with single-pass and multi-pass options and methods such as DoD 5220.22-M. Match the method to your storage and task rather than simply choosing the highest pass count. Processing time depends on the amount of data and the selected method.

APP SECURITY AND RECOGNITION
DEKRA MASA L1 validation covered iShredder Android 7.2.3 in March 2026, based on selected OWASP MASVS app-security requirements. Separately, iShredder received the Fortress Cybersecurity Award 2025. The validation concerns the tested app's security, not a guarantee of every data-erasure outcome.

ERASURE REPORTS FOR YOUR RECORDS
Use the reporting options in your edition to document completed operations. Keep records for device returns, internal reviews or a personal handover checklist. A report describes the selected process; it does not prove that copies on other devices or in cloud backups have also been deleted.

PRIVACY FOR EVERYDAY FILES AND DEVICE CHANGES
• Remove private photos and identity-document copies you no longer need.
• Delete confidential downloads after a personal or work task is complete.
• Prepare selected files for erasure before selling or trading in your phone.
• Clear accessible work files on a personal or shared device under your organization's policy.
• Process unused storage after sensitive files have been deleted, when appropriate.

START IN THREE STEPS
1. Back up what you want to keep and select files, folders or unused storage.
2. Choose an available method and confirm the selected scope.
3. Run the operation, review the result and save a report where supported.

CHOOSE THE FEATURES YOU NEED
Additional methods and reporting options vary by edition. Some features require an in-app purchase or subscription. Compare included functions, billing periods and renewal terms in the app before purchasing. Choose for your actual needs, from occasional file deletion to recurring document handling and device handovers.

ANDROID STORAGE AND PRIVACY
Access depends on Android, permissions, device and edition. Encryption and flash storage affect results; app-level overwriting cannot guarantee access to every physical memory cell. Manage cloud backups separately. Before handing over a whole phone, also follow the manufacturer's account-removal and factory-reset instructions. Read Google Play's Data Safety section and Protectstar's privacy policy for data-handling details.

Your files. Your choice. Take control of secure data deletion with iShredder.

Great app. I have the Military Edition which works efficiently. But at times it reverts back to the Free edition. I have to replace my account and password to gain the Military Edition. Still a good shredder.

Seems to work OK sometimes. However. when doing some wipes it will get stuck at say 2% for a minute, then jump to 100% for that pass. Makes me wonder if it did it's job. Using it to clear an old phone prior to disposal, so will be testing for photo recovery shortly after to see if it really works for not and will report back. Update : app fails to delete all photos. about 7 were recoverable, despite being only stored in the normal album and nowhere else.

This works well, but there are more negatives than positives. I love 25 different ways to shred your files! Unfortunately only 5 are free, the rest u have to pay. Oftentimes u don't know which is which until u click on it and it tells u "upgrade required" to use that feature. Always choose FILE EXPLORER to pick files to shred, then go to INTERNAL STORAGE or SD CARD, then PICTURES (or whatever), & pick the ones starting w/ "trashed" in the name. Those are your deleted files. Too complicated!
