Free is good. I have not used any of these tools, but I think it is a good idea for all of us to have one. I use Eraser, also free, and I have been happy with that. But here are some more and they are all free, so evaluate and pick your choice and try it on for size.
This comes from pcworld.com.
"Your PC's hard drive is packed with your personal data. So when you want
to get rid of your system or drive, you should permanently erase your
storage device drives before you get rid of them. If your drives are
encrypted and you trust the encryption protocol (full disk encryption is
pretty safe), all you have to do is delete your encryption keys. If you
want to safeguard your privacy further--and prevent data theft down the
road--here are a few cheap and simple tools designed to wipe your hard
drive, solid-state drive, or USB flash drive thoroughly before you
dispose of it."
