Erase Deleted Folders

Planning to give away my hard drive that had my entire personal and business related folder, which is very confidential. I just deleted it and even emptied the Recycle bin. But, I am not sure whether my folder is gone completely or not. It is a very sensitive folder, I don’t want anyone to read or access it. Can anyone tell me how to securely erase deleted folder? I am very much worried about it! Please help... Thank you.

On your Windows machines, a simple deletion or ‘Empty Recycle Bin’ option will only erase the index that is attached to the folder, not the folder itself. This index is the reference of the folder used to access it and this is the one that will be removed from the file system table. Actually, the folder will still exist on the disk until new data over writes on it. This makes the deleted folders to be vulnerable to recovery. Thus exposing you to some risk if the file contained sensitive information, such as SSN, or anything that should be confidential.
