Filters

File priority lists

In the 'Filters' tab you can set the lists of files and folders you want to always be wiped or never be wiped. The files in the 'Include' list will always be wiped. The files in the 'Exclude' list will never be wiped.

It would be a good idea to put the files that contain sensitive or security information into the 'Include' list to make sure they are completely deleted. It would also be sensible to put the important files which you would not want to lose into the 'Exclude' list.

Creating, editing and deleting the filters is identical for both tabs.

Adding filters

1. Click 'Add' on the right. The 'Add filter' dialog opens.

2. To enter the path to the folder you want to create a filter for click on the 'Change folder' icon on the right and browse for the necessary folder. You can also enter the path manually. Use asterisk as a wildcard to denote any number of symbols.

3. Enter a file mask. Use asterisk as a wildcard to denote any number of symbols. For example, enter '*.doc' to denote all .doc files.

4. Select the 'Include Subdirectories' check box to include the nested folders (if any) into the filter.

5. Click 'OK' to save the filter or 'Cancel' to discard.

Editing filters

Select an existing filter in the list and click on the 'Edit' button on the right. Enter the necessary settings and click 'OK'.
