Usually when you delete a file using rm, It removes the pointer to the file system. However, the data can still be accessed by forensic/data recovery tools.
rmx Shreds your files/folders by overwriting them with multiple rounds of random data. It also removes the pointer to the file system. This makes it impossible to recover the data.
go install github.com/oyamo/rmx@latest
