Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave?

An anonymous reader writes "I'm leaving my current job for a new one. I've been at this job for 10+ years so I'm sure there is tons of personal stuff stored on my machine. Since I can't take it with me does any one have a suggestions of tools or practices to clean off all of that data. I've already got my personal documents and files. I'm most worried about CC, debit card numbers and web site passwords I've used in browsers. Does clearing the cache, cookies, temp files do a good enough job? BTW it's a Windows 7 system if that makes a difference."

    Do we have any evidence that Timothy is actually a real person? Maybe he's a fictitious arch-editor created by the actual editors, under which they post more flamebait-like material to drum up discussion.
