Using a shared computer and deleting information?

I use a computer that I now share with my family. I am moving out and want to remove all my personal information from it. This would include banking account numbers and personal numbers. How do I do this? But I do not want to remove all their information.

    If it is windows xp and you are an administrator, go to control panel, user settings and follow the instructions, it can delete users and their information and settings from the computer in a very short time and you can take the folder it creates with the info inside for use in another computer!

    Never put banking account numbers and personal numbers on the computer. Look for file and completely delete it, however, depending on your OS your information is still retainable if the person knows where to look.
