• Permanent Deletion: Securely removes files and directories using the shred command.
• Recursive Processing: Supports encrypting and deleting files within directories recursively.
• User Confirmation Options: Can be configured to require user confirmation before encrypting or deleting files.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Required libraries: cryptography, hashlib
