Hey, hopefully I posted in the correct forum

Anyway, I have an older mac desktop and an external hd I'm going to be giving to a family member and I have a few things I'd like to do before getting rid of them.

1) I accidentally deleted some files off the external hd I want to try to get back.

2) There are some sensitive files I want to permanently delete so they can not be recovered.

I'm looking for programs that will allow me to do this if possible.

1) Are these programs safe? meaning they won't mess up parts of the hd or corrupt other files I wish to leave intact?

2) Which programs do you recommend for these?

3) Once I get the programs what's the process for each

Thanks
