Download/Hashes

It is important to note that users downgrading from 6.1 should delete their Task Lists (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Eraser 6\Task List.ersx) before running Eraser 6.0.x as that will result in a crash of 6.0.x builds. If you are upgrading from an earlier 6.0.x build, and especially if you have defined custom erasure methods or Plausible Deniability files, if upon upgrading Eraser refuses to start after the upgrade you can try deleting the task list (the same file as mentioned earlier) and if that fails, the HKCU\Software\Eraser\Eraser 6 registry key. Deleting the latter will result in a reset of all Eraser settings to defaults.
