When you delete something, the storage device usually just marks it as “able to be rewritten”. The data is still there

You get a program like dban, and use it to wipe the drive with something like “dod (department of defense) short” which wipes the entire hard drive 3 times

Keep in mind this puts excessive strain on the drive and will likely reduce it's lifespan, and also still isn't a 100% guarantee that all data will be gone
If you absolutely need the data gone, destroy it, leave absolutely nothing left of the disk inside
HDDs just mark files as "overwritable" to reduce unnecessary strain because actually writing the entire size of that file will slow down any other read/write that needs done/reduces overall strain on the drive
Iirc SSDs do just flip the bytes to 0, no recovery
