Empty Deleted Items and then compact your folders.

Click on Outlook Express at the top of the folder tree so no folders are
open. Then: File | Work Offline (or double click Working Online in the
Status Bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until
the compacting is completed.

Unless someone has a tool to read from the HDD, they will never find them.

If you are worried about the FBI or CIA, then you would have to completely
wipe your HDD clean and to a reinstall of your OS.

You need to take the hard drive and crush it and and then make sure the
platters are destroyed completely.

Merely putting it in a hot charcoal fire for two hours should do it.

If the platters aren't destroyed then one can use a scanning electron
microscope to read the disk. I don't know if charcoaling them is
sufficient.

Aluminum melts at 659.7 degrees Celsius. Surely after two hours in a
charcoal fire the platter will just be a blob.

I'll have to test it. I don't know what the platters are made of. I
thought they were a coated ceramic, but I've never actually checked.
