1. Assuming you really mean deleting files in storage, not the stuff in memory chips on the motherboard (which you do by turning off)
2. Then you have to make a choice as to erasing to blank, leaving no operating system or erasing the stuff you put on.
3. If you want to only erase the stuff you put on and then make it so nobody can see it even with special looking - open My Documents - type Ctrl-A, which will select all, then push your delete key, after confirmation it will delete all the directories and contents to the trash can. Then go to the Desktop and empty the trash can. Now go to the internet and download a large video (or save one before deleting everything by copying it to C:\) to My Documents - copy it to memory and paste it with new names until storage is full - that covers up all your old stuff. Again do Ctrl-A and Delete and empty the Trash Can. Now if someone looks all they will find is bits of the video.
Unintall programs if you want those off or if each program stores stuff in individual places and you left it there.
Do Ctrl A and delete on the Desktop if you kept documents there.
4. Go to the Internet and look for 'Freeware Disk Wipe' and down load a file and follow directions.

That relies upon on what you mean via memory. in case you mean your Ram,(Random get entry to memory), that's cleared each and every time you turn your laptop off. in case you mean your ROM, (study basically memory), you do no longer. it is the consumer-friendly configuration to run your laptop. in case you mean your change information that domicile windows use to augment the RAM you need to use Disk Cleanup. There are additionally third occasion courses which could clean out the change information, easy cleanser via Toni Arts and CCleaner to call a pair. Now in case you're speaking approximately Re-formatting your complicatedchronic. I recommend which you save any information you elect to maintain to floppies, Cd's, or maybe DVDs. To reformat your complicatedchronic you elect your working device Disk additionally pronounced as restoration Disk making use of the setting up it might provide you a option to re-format your complicatedchronic if no longer. use FDisk then run the setting up disk.

It depends on what type of laptop you have but just so you dont mess up anything you should take it to a best buy somewhere and have them delete your stuff because if they mess something on your laptop you get a brand new laptop!!!!

You can't delete memory, I'm guessing you mean delete all the files on your hard drive? If so, just go into "MY Computer", and right click your C: drive and click "Format"
