I understand you completely. Some people dont understand that private things are PRIVATE. They like to read other peoples mail, or diaries, or some similar very confidential things. I would like to know how to clean HDD totally, also. I know a story when one person used external HDD from a friend to move some data. After that she erased it, but hers so-called friend recovered it, and read that things. After that, that friend used that information against her. That was the end of their friendship, that is sure. So it is smart to delete all data. You can try to format HDD.
