Recuva is free, works OK for freeware.

If you want to wipe, Use ccleaner drive wiper.

[Enderman]

just format it

and not quick format

 

if you wasnt more security you can use ccleaner to do multiple overwrites to make data recovery even more difficult

 

and yeah, recuva is good for recovery

Use ccleaner to wipe it and write over it.

Hey there NetifxSixteen,

 

A full format from the OS should do the job pretty well. Using a tool to fill the card a few times after that and reformatting it again should make all the data completely irrecoverable. You can also use a zero writing application to fill everything with zeros. I could suggest using WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=eiaPah

 

Post back if you need help or have other questions that I can help with
