Doing an common format won't unrecoverably erase all information on a working laptop or workstation. If somebody performs a forensic information restoration, you would be astonished what could be recovered even after a format, OS reinstall, and months of utilization.

The answer is not just to delete items as suggested above. You need some shredder software which will write 1's and 0's all over your hard disk to remove all traces of you from thew hard disk.
If you just use the delete function from within the the operating system then your details will still remain and are still recoverable
