It is known as overwriting, in which a program is used to write zeroes and ones on the hard-drive. Several passes may be made to ensure the original data has been completely overwritten. Simply formatting a hard-drive is no good, as the data is still on the hard-drive, only the links to the data is removed, and the data can be recovered.
