You can use BCWipe to delete any traces of files which you do not want to recover. BCWipe will overwrite the deleted files' clusters with random binary information thus render the information unretrievable.

Infomation:
When a file is deleted from your computer, its contents aren’t immediately destroyed. Windows simply marks the hard drive space as being available for use by changing one character in the file table so that the file entry won’t be displayed in My Computer or a commandline DIR command, etc. If you manage to start an undeletion process before Windows uses that part of the hard drive to write a new file, all you have to do is set that flag back to “on,” and you get the file.

If your running windows just go to sites like zdnet.com or cnet.com they have a download section that has a ton of utils

the truth is you can't, even if you put the file into the bin, it will be recognizable on your hardware and occupy space, so if you have sensible data on your pc never ever sell your computer without formatting the hardware newly
