Reinstall the operating system.
If you are going to reinstall the OS, simply Reformat the hard drive. If however you are going to dispose of the hard drive, then drill 3 holes in the hard drive to permanently destroy it.

To securely erase personal information from your hard drive, you’ll want to do more than just delete files or format it, since that data can often be recovered. Here are a few steps you can take: Back up anything important – Make sure you have copies of the files you want to keep. For Windows: Go to Settings > Update & Security > Recovery and click Get Started under Reset this PC. Choose Remove everything and select Remove files and clean the drive for a deeper clean. For Mac: Open Disk Utility and select the drive you want to erase. Click Erase, then go to Security Options to choose how many times you want to overwrite the data. More passes = more secure. Third-party tools: If you want an extra level of security, programs like CCleaner, Coolmuster Data Erasure, or DBAN are great options for completely wiping your drive. Physical destruction: If you don’t need the drive anymore, physically destroying it (e.g., drilling holes in it or using a shredder) ensures that the data is gone for good. Just keep in mind that if you’re using an SSD, some of these methods might not work as well. It’s best to use the manufacturer’s secure erase tool.
The computer, believe it or not, has an internal memory that doesn't only keep everything you want it to, but deep down inside has records of EVERYTHING and ANYTHING you did on that computer. The only way you can permanently delete something completely off of the computer's memory is to use specific software or take the whole thing apart and clear its brain.

Volatile is RAM and non-volatile is like a hard drive. More specifically, "Volatile" storage will erase its contents when power is removed, while "Non-volatile" storage will have permanently stored the data (until specifically told to erase it), even after power is removed.
