photos can still be recovered. I've used this many times and it gave me peace of mind, but I recently decided to test it by downloading an app to recover files. it found files I've "deleted" with multiple passes, on different types and recovered them with ease. I've deleted multiple times and can still recover. I like the thought behind it, but it they are easily recoverable and not gone "permanently".

EDIT: After updating the app, it works just as well as before. Thank you developers! I'm know how difficult it is to keep updating your app to match all the OEM software updates, so good job! One suggestion would be to have the option of seeing all pics and videos in one area, no matter where they are located on your phone, instead of having to go into every subdirectory manually. Another would be to delete duplicate pics and vids so that only one instance remains.

Samsung Galaxy S9 running Android version 9 (Pie). When running "wipe empty space" (either running in background or not) it locks up my phone and the screen goes black and is unresponsive for a long time. I tried with a few different algorithms, same thing. Yesterday I tried it one last time and it crashed my Android OS and caused the phone to reboot. I'm not sure if your app ever finishes the erase or not but now I'm afraid to run it at all. It worked great on my Galaxy S7. Any ideas?

I was very concerned when multiple reviews reported the ability to recover photos and files with either diskdigger or dumpster, but I ran this on a test picture and pdf and neither were recoverable with either program. However, the thumbnails and file names remained, and it didn't delete my apps or app data so what it does shred is underwhelmingly little. Better than nothing, but not what I was hoping for.

Moto G6 Ran app around 3pm by 11 pm it was 97% done. Woke up and the app was closed with no indication if the program did anything. Within minutes the phone rebooted. Took over 10 minutes to start back up. The SD card could not be found. Since my apps are stored on the SD card. Hardly anything ran and if they did, they were slow and crashed. Battery drain was extreme. WIth Battery Saver lost 51% in 10 hours of non-use. After trying every trick to get my SD card to work. I had to reset to factory and reformat the SD card. Lost my photos, videos and documents. Also lost my time

Using this has given a total sense of ease..I use it once every 3 or 4 weeks (if I have been downloading Pdf's or taking pictures, etc.) Anything that will remain on my phone after deleting it or even after performing a factory reset (that doesn't completely delete everything..Shreddit does..!!
