Perry, there is no such option provided by Acronis is any of the current versions including 2017 but there are third-party applications which can offer this for you.

For example, I have the free version of Glary Utilities installed which offers a right-click context menu option which will launch their File Shredder to do what you ask - see screen shots below.

Don't like it I only want file shredder this has registry cleaner. There is no need for registry cleaners. In 7 years acronis have not added the shred to context menu

Perry, yes it is a legit program, I haven't seen any adware from it but you can disable any automatic startup actions it creates if you want to.

Perry, this is just a user forum rather than a direct route to influence Acronis development and given that there are a lot of competing products available to perform functions like file shredding, I suspect that Acronis have decided not to get into that particular area.

See webpage: 36 Free File Shredder Software Programs as just one of many hits I got on Google search just in this area, plus many Security suites include this type of function too.

i know the 36 programs my question was is acronis shred  in the context menu. This from acronis mod  https://forum.acronis.com/forum/11317#comment-33212 says it would probably be avilable

Perry, I understand your reference to the older forum post - Ilya has not been active in these forums for some extended time so isn't around to challenge on his statement.  The reference to "most likely this feature will be available in future versions of Acronis True Image." is an open statement as it can mean any future version.

If you want to persue this then you would need to open a Support Case with Acronis support or contact the current Acronis forum Moderator Ekaterina via a PM as ask if she can clarify if / when this may be added?
