I want to delete all of my online adult content pictures off of my computer. I want to delete ALL of it, even traces; so if I have to turn in my computer to be worked on in the future, they won't know I've been looking at these. I have Windows XP. Thank you!

To really "delete" the pictures you want to overwrite the files with zeros. Its a technical process but if you don't go through with it then anyone can restore these pictures with a simple surface scan of your drive.
I'm sorry for not giving a direct link to this software, the company that makes it deserves some hits for providing it for free. To get it please visit their download section.

The software above will allow you to easily delete everything you want by dragging it into the window and you clicking run. After this your porn will be unrecoverable by all but the most dedicated computer experts.

You'll need to run a secure file deletion program. Select one from this list:

Remember that simply deleting file normally or formatting the hard disk drive will not remove all traces.

Go through your files and delete them as normal. The download a free trial of "windowswasher" carefull read throught the instructions ...make sure it is set to overwrite 'slack' set the " overwrite" to the highest number. As you will see the 'windowswasher' can clean up stuff really well. Worth purchasing after the free trial ends.

If its just pictures, search for jpg's and gif's and delete them, to totally get rid of it you'll have to reformat your hard drive. And don't go back for more.
