Default Erasing cache files?

Hi all
I'm new here, so sorry if this post is in the wrong section.
I'm/was thinking of selling my p.c. That was until someone told me about Google Desktop, that can search through your harddrive, and recover all kinds of personal info, even though you thought you had erased them. I'm talking about e-mails, pictures, web-sites - i do on-line banking!!!
I tried it myself, and sure enough, lots of info was available, pictures, music that i've listened to, old web pages, i thought i'd cleared them by using delete browsing history from Internet Explorer.
Anyway, how do i erase these from my harddrive so i can sell the p.c.?

Many thanks.
