I was working on a sensitive file on my Mac, when I was done with it, I wanted to delete it securely. Since I love to do things in the Terminal, I found this neat command called "srm" which stands for, you guessed it, secure remove.
Usage: srm <filename>
It takes a little longer than normal rm but its worth it for the security.
It also works on Linux systems, you will need to install it. On Ubuntu just type:
sudo apt-get install secure-delete
If you're a Windows user there is a tool called "sdelete" from Microsoft.
