What if you want to sell one of your hard drives someday? If you don't wipe it clean, all your files left on disk will be recoverable, even after a format. If you want to make sure that your data is overwritten 7 times, which is the DoD standard, you should use a tool like Chaos Shredder.
Chaos Shredder installs smoothly and is very easy to use. You just right click on any file or directory you want to delete, and Chaos Shredder overwrites the data according to DoD standards. DoD = Deparment of Defense.
Chaos Shredder is a free tool, and can be downloaded from here.
