Use a reformatting utility (sometimes known as a hammer, in one o/s).
Why do you think you want to? Would good would wiping out the
references to files already on disk do you? Why aren't you happy with a
simple delete (which would have the same effect, but be slower, as
anybody who has tried to remove paint spots rather than paint over them
knows)?

Reformatting will destroy EVERYTHING, including Windows itself, and
anyone who doesn't know how to reformat a disk (the easy part) will not
know how to reinstall Windows on a laptop (the [relatively] hard part).

Depending on what yo need to do it for, just make a DOS boot floppy,
boot from it, and run fdisk and format.

The following is taken directly from the Dell Support website. Good luck.
Step Details: Restore the system to the Dell factory installation (PC
Backup).
To restore the system to the Dell factory installation using PC Backup,
perform the following steps:
NOTE: PC Backup is available on Dimension and Inspiron systems that
shipped on or after 18 Oct. 2005 in the Americas.
1.. Power the computer on.
2.. When the Dell screen appears press and hold the <Ctrl> key on the
keyboard, press the <F11> key, then release them both at the same time.
The Starting Symantec|Dell Recovery Environment screen appears.
NOTE: Press the keys one time only. If you press them more than once, a
keyboard error occurs and the process has to be initiated again.
3.. Once the End User License Agreement appears, Click the Accept button
or press the <Enter> key to indicate your acceptance of the End User License
Agreement.
The Symantec Recovery Disk window appears.
4.. Click on the Recover My Computer to Original Dell Configuration button
or press <Tab> until Recover My Computer to Original Dell Configuration is
highlited and press <Enter>.
5.. The Recover My Computer Wizard dialog box appears. Click Yes or press
the <Tab> key and press <Enter>.
6.. A second Recover My Computer Wizard dialog box appears. Click Yes or
press the <Tab> key and press <Enter> to start the recovery process.
The Ghost32 8.2 window appears. Once the process is begun, it usually
takes only 8 to 10 minutes to complete.
When the restore is complete, the system will restart
Your software is now as it was when you first received your computer.
