Hello @Colly and thanks for joining us here.

The File shredder permanently deletes selected files or folders and all traces from your hard drive.
After shredding the files, the confirmation is displayed in the results summary:

And in the notification events:

Apart from this, there are no other logs as far as I know, since the File shredder does what the name implies and permanently deletes data by physically removing it from a hard drive. It runs 3 deletion passes on
a file and overwrites it with random data so it cannot be recovered.

Now, if you are using this with the scope of deleting sensitive data that can be subject to an audit where you are required to provide proof of deletion procedures, for example, I think this might not be the ideal solution for you, since it does not provide a history of what was deleted, because this would defy the purpose of having a file shredder in the first place..

Alex
