Really, why bother. Unless you're a known millionaire then no one
cares what's on your hard disks.



Thats really quite a very naieve position to take:

1. Many browsers now "offer" to save your name, address, phone numbers
and even usernames and passwords for all your web accounts. So its
clearly stored somewhere on that disc

2. Your email client will have a PST file containing *all* your emails,
email addresses, email contents etc.

3. Online banking, online pensions etc whose web site addresses all in
the web browser history at least so its easy to work out who you have a
bankign relationship with

4. Your own personal data on that disc like DoB, Nat Ins No, Name and
address means a fraudster cam commit fraud in your "name" like loans,
credit cards or SIM swap fraud or even empy your bank account(s)

Need I go on?
