To wipe the Hard Drive. There is a free program called Darik's Boot and Nuke. Download it. Burn it to a disk it's an ISO file so you'll need an ISO Burner. Active ISO Burner is a good choice it's free. Restart your computer and have the disk in. Make sure when you boot the CD Rom is first choice. If not you'll have to go in the BIOS and change your boot preference to CD ROM first. When you load the ISO disk you'll see the choices for how you want to erase the HARD DRIVE. The first choice is Auto Nuke it erases the disk three times. There is a DOD choice and a Gutmann etc. To wipe free space from your Computer not the whole disk. There are plenty of programs that can do that also. Those programs won't have any effect on your Operating System or the Programs installed. There are plenty of pay programs that can wipe a Hard Drive totally out. Active Kill Disk is a good one.

When drawing a Data Flow Diagram How do you represent deleting data?

A DFD consists of a set of processes and data stores and shows the flow of data through the system. First create a process node on the diagram and label it that the 'process' is to delete data. If the data is being deleted from a data store then draw an arrow to the data store that the information is being deleted from and label the arrow with the data being deleted. If the data is being deleted from the data flowing into the process node then show the data before the node and then remove the data after the node.
