File Clean up

Giving my PC away but want to wipe out all files except typical operating and MS programs. Is there a good file clean up program out there that's easy to use, doesn't take forever and works?

If you are looking for software to completely wipe your hard drive, I would recommend using Stompsoft Drivewasher. It does everything from a low level format all the way up to the Gutmann method (35 pass). Plus, it gets the job done fast.
