use shred or wipe to kill the files rather than say rm.

there are many file recovery tools out there they just depend on the fs being used. eg e2undel for ext2

You can't undelete a file in Linux. Is this because the file
has been shredded? I ask not because I want to undelete, but
because I have some sensitive data files that I have deleted
and *don't* want resurrected at any later date.
