Typically, data deleted on the computer is not truly deleted. The file stays on the disk until it is overwritten by another file. Until then, those files or file fragments can be recovered. If the data is sensitive, the recovered data could be exploited, causing damage much like a missed ember in a fire. When you delete your data, you want the data totally extinguished.
What if you wanted to sell, donate, discard, or return your computer? You would need to make sure to eliminate your confidential information such as:
IDs and Passwords
Social security number
Financial Documents
Human resources data
Tax Records
Corporate Trade Secrets
Bank account information
Customer databases
Credit card numbers
And more...
