Bleachbit and several other programs come with tools to "shred" files and folders (similar to a paper shredder, which shreds a different kind of files and folders), and/or "overwrite free disk space to hide deleted files" -- that should be all you need, just select your home folder and delete everything.
I would probably do them both AND drop the hard drive off a high-rise. (And then maybe drop the shards off a boat in Lake Michigan.)
