"I would normally suggest 1 of 2 things. Ether getting a new HDD and installing a fresh install of the OS (old drive gets physically shredded). The other is using a utility such as D'Bans Boot and Nuke, to rewrite every bit on the drive to Zero. Both are Military grade standards for destroying sensitive computer data

But that doesn't solve your problem, you can't reinstall, and you want the Original OS intact.

You can try Microsoft's SDelete Utility to delete sensitive files

For mac users you can try Permanent Eraser

It all depends on how sensitive your personal data is. If there is no critical data on your computer, like banking information, tax info, or information that would be considered confidential for your work The above utilities should work fine for you."

"Click on the Windows button, in the search box type “Administrative Tools” & double click on Disk Management, This display you’re Disk Partitions.

If you want to remove all your personal details from the system you should reinstall your operating system & format your hard drive. If you are selling your laptop it is best to format your hard drive a few times to make sure your details can’t be recovered by specialist software.
