Actually, the "delete" operation in Windows only removes bits of information from files so they appear deleted in OS. It is easy to retrieve those files using specialized file recovery software.

In order to remove, or shred files permanently from your system you have to use a program that is capable of rewriting the files with random series of binary data multiple times. This process is often called safe deletion. That way, the actual content of the file has been overwritten and the possibilities to recover such a deleted file are mostly theoretical.
