Hello, I hope I posted this in the right place. I just sold my macbook on ebay and I want to make sure all of my stuff is deleted off of it. What is the best way to do this. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Only semi-correct.
If you want to be secure about it, boot up from the system disc that came with your Macbook. Get into Disk Utility > Erase > Security Options.
Make sure to zero out the drive. Doing several passes is going to take a while, so I suggest leaving it on overnight.
