If you delete files from your computer hard drive they are not permanently deleted, only the address that informs your computer where the file is located is deleted. If you have an older computer that you may wish to donate to a charitable organization it is a good idea to erase all your old files. Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN) provides an open source method of erasing your hard drive. This video demonstrates creating a DBAN CD/DVD boot disk and then erasing all the files including the operating system off a hard drive.
