Funkeycable, it seems like there are many erasing programs to choose from such as those detailed by ADd and ChrisT. Do you just want to delete private information in your documents folder or are you looking for something more. Any file/folder i want to erase i do it by right clicking the mouse which brings up my option to erase completely with either clean disc security or tuneup utilities that i also have installed. Clean Disk also provides similar features to the
program given by ChrisT (ps. this is not a sales pitch for CDS)
