1) Format it. Don't select the "Quick Format" option.

2) Don't worry man. Nobody will dig so deep.

On My Computer, when you select "Format" don't select "Quick Format" as that will not erase your card to the fullest (ie.It will leave some slim chances of recovery)
And Why worry man?

Copy some garbage to your card to its full capacity. Than format the card. Your earlier data would never come.

@digitalage- Format your card, don't select quick format. After formatting, click a few pics of nature, animals (and such pictures). Format it again without quick format. There's no chance of recovering the previous images.
