Even that won't stop someone motivated. If you're really paranoid, reformat the drive, then pack it FULL of non-sensitive data like mp3s or jpg files or something (so every sector is overwritten). Then you can safely erase the files and hand the drive over with no risk of anything being compromised.
Any "erase" can actually be undone by the right software to varying degrees. Even a format can to some extent. An overwrite cannot.
