Hmm, let me elaborate on my previous statement...how do I securely delete data that does not require me to physically hulk-smash my drive?
Granted, an episode of Office Space on the copier/printer never hurt anyone....

That's probably more effective than a .50.

Secure trash works well enough for most people. If you're really paranoid you can do a secure trash, followed by a multi-pass "erase free space" in disk utility, which will do up to 35 write-over-zero passes on what used to be your data.
That's probably more effective than a .50.

So if data can survive that kind of situation, well, you're going to have to really go out of your way to make sure nothing can be recoverd.

And if you somehow managed to delete them where the .dmg file isn't available, mail the thing to me and I'll recover the files for you.
