Alternate File Shredder is a Windows program that deletes files and folders so that recovery is not possible. It can also overwrite free space on a drive, so already deleted files cannot be restored. Users can choose how overwriting is done, using a specific value, random values or a file content as a template. It is freeware/open source and requires the .NET framework 2.0.
rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer, freely available under the GNU General Public License and maintained by Andrew Tridgell. It uses the rsync algorithm to bring remote files into sync by sending just the differences across the link. Some features include updating whole directory trees and optionally preserving symbolic links, hard links, file ownership, permissions, devices and times.
Remove Empty Directories (RED) is an open source tool that batch deletes empty folders. It recursively searches below a start folder and shows empty directories before deleting them. It supports multiple delete modes, including deleting to the recycle bin, filter lists for white and black listing, and can treat directories containing empty files as empty.
PowerRename is a Windows utility from PowerToys for bulk file renaming. It performs search-and-replace and regular expression renames across multiple selected files, shows expected results in a preview window before finalizing, and allows the operation to be undone after completion. Options include matching all occurrences and case sensitivity, with application limited to filename or extension.
tinyMediaManager is a media management tool written in Java and Swing that provides metadata for media centers such as Kodi, Emby, Jellyfin and Plex. It searches for media on hard disks and builds an internal database, scrapes metadata and artwork from sources including TheMovieDB.org and Fanart.tv, and writes NFO files to disk. It runs on Windows, Linux and macOS and also supports command line and HTTP API use.
VERNAM is a free, open-source file encryption tool that runs entirely in the browser. It encrypts any file with a passphrase using XChaCha20-Poly1305 and Argon2id, and no files or passwords are uploaded. It is published by PrivacyTools.io and offers an optional high security mode with heavier key derivation.
FilesMD is a web-based metadata viewer and editor. Users upload files to view EXIF and metadata fields such as timestamp, thumbnails, software version, language, author, and GPS location. It also supports editing file metadata and lists supported file types.
