A feature of LMN8

Delete, properly.

Most “delete” just removes a pointer and leaves your bytes on the disk for any recovery tool to find. Zero doesn’t hide your data — it ends it. It encrypts the file, destroys the only key, then overwrites, releases, and verifies what’s left.

Encrypt → destroy key → overwrite → verify.
Using Zero

Delete, in three calm steps.

Zero is built so the private option is always the easy one — no manuals required.

1
Pick what goes

Select files, whole folders, or a drive. Filter by type, age, or name pattern.

2
Choose now or later

End it on the spot, or schedule recurring cleanups daily, on weekdays, or every N days.

3
Keep the receipt

Opt in to a signed erasure record — file, method, passes, verification, and timestamps.

The pipeline

Eight steps. One of them is the point of no return.

The moment the encryption key is destroyed, your data is mathematically irrecoverable — by cryptography, not by a promise that the overwrite finished. Everything after that is defense in depth.

01
Hide

The file vanishes from view instantly.

02
Encrypt

Every byte sealed with a random AES-256-GCM key.

No return
03
Destroy key

The only key is shredded in locked memory.

04
Obfuscate

Name and extension replaced with random hex.

05
Overwrite

1, 3, or 7 passes of random and zeros, plus slack space.

06
TRIM

On SSDs, blocks are physically released to the drive.

07
Delete

Removed from the filesystem, with retry and backoff.

08
Verify

Confirmed gone. Erasure record saved if you opted in.

What Zero does

Six quiet ways to let go.

/01
Wipe by hand

Pick files or whole folders and end them on the spot — crypto-erase, then a 1, 3, or 7-pass overwrite of what remains.

/02
Set it once

Schedule recurring cleanups daily, on weekdays, or every N days. Filter by file type, age, or name pattern.

/03
External drives, too

HDDs, SSDs, and USB sticks. SSDs get crypto-erase + TRIM; spinning disks get the full multi-pass overwrite.

/04
Reach a device from anywhere

Trigger a wipe on any linked device the moment it touches the internet. Lose a laptop, end its data from your phone.

/05
The LMN8 button

One action reaches every linked device at once — for the moments you mean it most.

/06
Keep the receipt

Opt in to an erasure record for every job: file, size, method, passes, verification, and timestamps.

Availability

Wherever your data lives.

Zero comes with LMN8 — one account that reaches every device you own.

Questions

More about Zero.

The trash just removes a file’s label — the data sits on disk until something overwrites it. Zero encrypts the file and destroys the only key first, so it’s mathematically irrecoverable before a single overwrite pass even begins.

Zero detects SSD vs HDD per file. On flash it pairs crypto-erase with TRIM (following NIST 800-88 guidance); on spinning disks it runs the full multi-pass overwrite.

Yes. Opt in and each job produces a verifiable erasure record — useful for audits, compliance, or your own peace of mind.
