Of having a recycle bin on your desktop when all the deleted items are stored on your hard drive?

Sorry, I just don't undersand. I don't know alot of computers. But I'm moving soon and I am going to sell my computer. But now, I just found out that all my info is on my hard drive?

Can you please help me? How do I wipe out the hard drive, I don't want people knowing my credit card info and history.. is there any safe/secure way to delete everything from the hard drive? Or will the information always be traceable?

Would it be better if I took a hammer and smashed it? lol

Is the hard drive the only think I should worry about before, selling/disposing my desktop?

Thanks very much, you all are always so helpful!!
 
The hard drive is the only piece of hardware that stores personal information. I would try formatting it a few times, or do a secure erase.
