If you're seriously concerned the next owner might try that, create a new file
full of junk from /dev/random or from /dev/null that fills the existing freespace,
then remove it.

This is not at all a major job. Just get dd copying from /dev/random to
/dev/<diskDrive> before you go to bed tonight. Things will be all better
in the morning.

/dev/random is unnecessarily slow and /dev/null will do nothing. the correct device is /dev/zero
