Deleting files only erases their entries in the file system, not the contents and not necessarily the (entire) file names, so simple tools can recover the files.

After file contents are overwritten even once, much more sophisticated tools are needed to recover the data.

The package secure-delete will do what you need, but you don't need the default high security. Use the options to speed things up and spare the wear and tear on the flash memory. (And be careful how you specify what to delete and how to erase the empty space.)
Ok, I have this one already.

How thick is your foil hat?
Doesn't have one, is it a must have to make it work?
