"With modern filesystems securely deleting files isn't always easy, but one approach which stands a good chance of working is to write random patterns over all unused areas of a disk - thus erasing the contents of files you've previously deleted." This is a nice way to perform the described task. This is not new but most people do not perform this task. Use this or not, I just thought this would be a cool howto to share.
