How do I delete files permanently from y computer and make it unrecoverable?

Hi everyone, I was organizing my computer recently and found some old files and sensitive data that I want to completely delete. I don't want these files to be restored, and I feel that ordinary deletion methods, such as right-clicking to delete or emptying the Recycle Bin, may still leave traces of data. I have heard of some methods, such as using special software or command line operations, but I am not familiar with these.

 

I hope to find a simple and effective method to delete files permanently from my computer and make it unrecoverable. Does anyone have good suggestions or experience to share? Thank you very much for your help!
