I bought an used laptop and I want to delete Internets downloads (pictures and movies) How can I delete them?

Question

I bought this used computer from a guy who I do not know well and the reason I am writing is because I do not want to have in my computer sexy pictures or movies from the previous owner. I would like to learn to delete his downloaded PICTURES and MOVIES records for good. What are the steps that I need to follow to delete all of them. I have checked the picture's file and I have deleted some already, however, I still find more also if all this materials it was downloaded from the internet how do I eliminate them?


Thanks for answering :)

Answer 1

There is only 1 internet, so it isn't plural. The best thing to do would be to re-install the operating system from the CD that should have come with it as well. This way you can be sure there aren't any nasty suprises waiting for you, pictures, movies or viruses!

Answer 2

try this link

its a freebie and really good. it will sort out the Internet and anything you don't want put it in the recycle bin and choose the setting to shred the material.
if you reformat you will need all your program disc's to reinstall
when I run it on my laptop it stripped off 300MB's of rubbish
