The de-facto standard would probably be the 7-pass method, which is implemented in numerous deletion programs. I think it's based on Bruce Schneier's algorithm, which writes 1's over all the data, then 0's, and then 5 passes of random values. Good luck getting any data back after that.
Of course, for the uber paranoid, there is the Gutmann method.
Right. The program Clean Disk Security did just that, I usually used the NIST or whatever it was called standard of 7 passes. the Gutmann mode of 35 passes just seemed to take forever, but I haven't tried it on my newer laptop.
But I was just throwing the defrag/bulk data option out there for anyone who can't find a reliable file deletion program.
