There are a couple ways you can do this. The most simple way would involve access your recovery partition (either hit F11 on boot up or the OEM splash screen), or access the "BackUp and Restore Center" program on Windows Vista machines. I do not recommended manually deleting all documents and files from your computer - this will not permanently delete all your information.

The most secure way to delete all the information on your hard drive is using a Linux based operating system. Almost every modern version of Linux has a command called "shred", which overwrites all files on your hardrive with random numbers or characters multiple times. However, if you are not sued to using Linux, I would strongly recommend not taking this path.
