Well if i want to delete a file forever, there are many tools out there
which do the job. For example, Krusader offers a "shred" command, other

Null-Bytes before deleting them.
It's still not deleted. If a sufficiently determinded party wants to
recover your data, they can do it.
Well i have read an article about a topic called 'restformatierung' (German),
which means something like 'remaining formatting'. If you physically open a
harddisk and connect it to some special diagnostics equipment, it might be
possible to find out how the magnetic particles on the disk have been before
they were overwritten to the actual state, but this is not guarateed
to work for all and every bit, and it requires very special equipment,
and AFAIK, the harddisk itself is gone forever after doing that.
