If you follow the steps in the video and delete all the partitions it's impossible for stuff to come back unless you have some cloud syncing software like onedrive or google drive.

When you're installing from a thumb drive or a Windows CD it gives you the option to do a custom install. From here you can delete all the partitions and create new ones. This will overwrite most of the data on the disk and making it so the system doesn't see/use it once the new install completes.

 

As Enderman stated if you login to a cloud sync program and it was set to backup your data then it will re-download it once you get back in. Don't login to these applications.
