Im leaving my workplace, and want to clear my computer of all files for privacy reasons. I do not have the back up CD. What are the options to clear and restore to original state?

If I delete the personal files, does that permanently remove them from the hardrive? And how if I clear my temp internet files, what else would I have left to clean up?

Delete all your own files which you KNOW you created. In addition, use DIsk Cleanup to get rid of the temporary Internet files, downloaded files and cookies.
Start - Programs - Accessories - System tools - Disk Cleanup.
Lastly, your tech people probably have a "Gold Disk" or "Image" which they can 'reimage' your PC. Ask them to do this for your own personal security.

Without the CD or a "Restore Partition", you can't. Your best solution would be to go through the system and delete all personal files.

You will need to talk to someone in your IT department, if you have one. Otherwise you will just have to remove all your personal files individually. Remember that the computer and the information that is not personal that it contains, belongs to your company and you could in theory face legal action for destroying that information.

in case you circulate to regulate panel and run the equipment fix it is going to ask for a date to once you prefer your laptop to be restored. in case you ask for a week in the past or the day previous it is going to act as though ur laptop forgot a week or a nighttime and could return to the previous state of ways it was.
