How do I permanently delete files, photos from sd card on Windows PC?
+1 for Dr.Wiper. One of the best solutions for completely delete files from SD card. I used it a couple of times on my PC and no data recovery software could find the deleted files. Here is the step-by-step tutorial:

A full format is more thorough than a quick format. I have used this method before. Find the SD card in Disk Management, right-click and select "Format", and then cancel the "Quick Format" option. The whole process will take longer because the system will clean up each sector, and it will appear that all the files have been deleted.
However, even so, some data recovery tools can still recover some files, especially some key pictures or documents. So although a full format is better than a quick format, it is still not safe to completely delete photos or files from sd card, You'd better ask professional IT personnel to solve this problem.
