Freeware to permanently delete private data on PC ?

Can any computer geeks advise of any freeware software that allows you to permanently erase/delete any data that remains on "so called" empty disk space. Just I want to sell my old PC with operating system intact, but any private data deleted for good

Not me since I keep the files on new drive for a while, sort of insurance.
