How do you permanently delete jpg files from your computer?

Try doing a SHIFT+DELETE.

Answer

Try a commercial program like window washer

Left click to select the file, then just press the delete key. It is true that this doesn't remove the file from the hard drive, but it does take down the "fence" that protects it, so it can be overwritten. Reformatting or a program like Window Washer, and several free programs similar to it, will make them inaccessible. There are several programs available that will overwrite those files multiple times, to ensure that they are not retrievable. Norton security suite has one, I think. There are others, some free.

Answer

Use HDCleaner, it will overwrite n-times any file so it won't be found even using recovery software, I've tried it and it really works, this is the solution for those of us leasing software; this app will erase the blank space in your hard drive, too.Yep, it's free.Good Luck!
