You can just right click on the drive you want to erase and use "Format..." It will delete everything on this partition.

As stated above, right click on the drive and choose Format.

If your aim is to reuse it yourself, this is completely fine.

 

If you want to give it away and are concerned about someone being able to access the data, DBAN is where it's at.

Or, you know, physical destructive force.

There is a really good program that wipes your hard drive that I use, its open source. http://www.dban.org/

 

If you dont plan on selling or reusing your hdd then you could destroy it...
