There is program called "DBAN", which is best program for secure delete, but safest method is also slow as fuck. It's been a years since i used it, and then hard drive sizes was much smaller so i guess now using deepest method could take even longer. Tho, once i tried program which coming with linux, which basicly is "filling hard drive sectors with zeroes", took 1 days to finish 1 tb drive, and after i tested it with undelete program nothing was found on it, not a single file and it was full before.
