Project-Deleton

This script is designed as a scambaiting tool for those who want to fight back against scammers who may have stolen or gained access to your personal data.

Why this script exists:

• Scammers often collect your private files and information to exploit or intimidate you.

• If you’re a scambaiter (someone who plays tricks on scammers), this script lets you send a strong message back by overwriting targeted files with a warning message.

• Instead of simply deleting files, this script replaces the contents of important files with a clear, visible warning:

  "Wooh Delete fool....Scammer hahaha...."

• This causes a psychological impact on scammers: they see every file they stole, but cannot access the original data anymore.

• It’s like a nightmare for them worse than deleting files silently, because they face the constant reminder every time they try to open any stolen document or image.

⚙️ Features

1. Full Delete Dropper (delete.exe)

   • Installs itself as delpod.exe in
     C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\
   • Registers in your current user’s Run registry key so it auto-starts at login.
   • Runs silently in the background, watching drives C:–G: for new or modified files.
   • Recursively overwrites any matching extension (.txt, .pdf, .jpg, etc.) with the taunt.

2. Safe Test Utility (safe.exe)

   • Overwrites only files in its own folder (no recursion).
   • Displays a progress list in the console for every file it processes.
   • Ideal for verifying behavior before deploying the full delete dropper.

Safe “Test” Version

If you’d like to try this in a controlled environment first, there’s also a safe test variant that you can find in the releases:

What this test version does:

• Detects the folder where the script or executable runs.
• Lists files in only that folder (no subfolders).
• Overwrites all matching files with the warning message.
• Shows a progress bar for the files found.

This is perfect for safely testing the behavior on a small, controlled folder without risking data on other drives.

Use responsibly:

• This tool is meant for emergency situations and for users aware of the consequences data overwritten by this script cannot be recovered.
• Only run this if you are certain your files are compromised and you want to take a stand against scammers.
• Always keep backups of important data elsewhere to avoid accidental loss.
• If you find an executable version of this tool in the releases, do NOT run it on your own PC unless you have a full backup of your important files.
