Did I erase my hdds correctly?

That won't delete any data off the drive. It will still physically be located on the drive, however what you have done is delete the address book that tells the drive where the data is located on the disk so it simply doesn't know that it is there. It's possible and very easy to recover the data from the drives with software.
You need to overwrite the data to remove it. There's plenty of software options available to overwrite data on a drive as a means of securely erasing the drive without physically damaging the drive. You can use DBAN (though unplug any HDDs you don't want erased so you don't accidentally delete data off them) or even programs like Piriforms CCleaner have data erasers built in these days.
