   If you just reformat and reinstall, any hard drive space that had the    
   offending files on it that isn't overwritten with new data could be recovered   
   very easily.  If they are files you don't ever want to be seen again I would   
   use a disk wiping utiliy first.  of course the likelyhood of someone with the   
   software and nohow to do it is pretty slim.
