Deleting Personal Documents off your PC

Wonder if anyone can help.
Got a new computer and I am giving the old pc to my son. I want to keep all the programmes on there for him but want to delete all my documents clean off the computer, so if he gets rid off it, some one can not nick the details of it and use it in identity fraud.
Any help is much appreciated

There are a lot of FREE software products out there that delete files and then overwrite the disc to prevent the files being recovered.
To start take a look at the magazine PC Utilities whose cover disc has loads of these. Purely for us money savers you can search for and download these programs from here: -

Put in a search for "delete" and tick the "FREE" box. Take your pick!
