-MOST SECURE- Take the hard drive out, bash it up with a hammer, burn it, and chuck in in the sea. Then replace with new hard drive and install operating system of choice. -SLIGHTLY LESS SECURE- Failing that, next best option is to recover computer to factory settings. Depending on manufacturer this can either be done from an application in windows, or by pressing a certain key(s) (often F10) when the computer is booting up. *Please be aware this will remove all files, folders, programs that were not pre-installed* *I take no resposibility for you deleting files you want* After warning you that this will delete all files and folders, I remembered that most manufacturers now partion the hard drive. This will shows as two hard drives under "My Computer". Only one of these gets fully deleted, so check the other for sensitive files. -CHECK CHECK AND CHECK AGAIN METHOD- If you don't fancy the sound of that, a lot of time and a fine toothed comb is in order for you to search every folder on your hard drive. To my knowledge there is no program that will search out and delete files which are unwanted in the way you want.
