Yes. Is it a mac or pc? Can't remember the method on PC, but it's easy on mac.

a soft cloth works well. I like a nice microfiber one myself.

I prefer TP. You don't want it to get a rash.

If you're actually worried about it, destroy the drive (hammer, bullets etc).

Is it still recoverable even if you overwrite the entire drive?

One example: Bad sectors won't get overwritten but are accessible forensically.

It depends on the level of "wipe" you are talking about

Don't just wipe it, destroy it. drill holes in it, shoot it with a gun. a wiped HD can still be recovered.

Hard drives are cheap. Just keep it and destroy it.

I usually prefer to just take the hard drive out and physically destroy it.

Whatever you do, make sure you wipe it using the back door method - Front door
