The only real way to completely delete data from a hard drive is to write binary 0's to each sector and/or cluster. This can be done with software, (most hard drive manufacturers include them on their site). Norton utilities also has a very "supposidily" untraceable format utility but you have to know how to use it..
BUt to answer your questions, yes and it is done quite easily.
Not only these good points, but keep in mind if they put a trojan horse virus and/or a keycheck program on the PC, they can track his movements AND have all his passwords.
