when you delete files ,windows files them some where and they are still on
your system , but hidden
where are they and how can you remove them
so that when passing on a computer you do not pass info that you do not want
other people to see/access
 
Do a low-level format of your hard drive - usually can find utilities from
your disk manufacturer. Or, smash the hard drive with a big rock. That one's
a little more permanent. ;-)

Description
[[Restore files which are deleted from the recycle bin or deleted while
holding down the Shift key by mistake. Conversely, this program has another
function that makes it almost impossible to restore all deleted files. You
can use it after deletion of confidential documents, embarrassing files and
so on.]]

You can get Shred 2.1 from PC Magazine's web site to do this for you:

If you're really paranoid, you can buy Evidence Eliminator from:
