Permanent Eraser
Permanent Eraser is a file deletion and privacy utility for macOS that securely removes files, folders, and data from your hard drive so they cannot be recovered. Unlike the standard Trash bin, which may leave recoverable data on disk, Permanent Eraser overwrites file space using industry-standard deletion algorithms to ensure deleted content cannot be retrieved by data recovery tools. The app is used by privacy-conscious users, security professionals, and anyone handling sensitive information who want confident permanent deletion before selling, recycling, or repurposing a Mac.

1 suggestionWe could not find clear information confirming whether a native Apple Silicon build of Permanent Eraser exists. The developer's website and public release notes do not contain explicit architecture details, and the search results were not relevant to the application itself. If you rely on Permanent Eraser, we recommend contacting the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is available or planned. In the meantime, the app may continue to function under Rosetta 2, though you will not benefit from the performance and battery improvements of native operation. If you need an alternative now, consider Permanent Eraser's more actively maintained competitors such as CCleaner (which has native Apple Silicon support) or the free, open-source Permanent Eraser fork maintained by the community, though both have different feature sets and pricing models.
