Scroll down to find Mail and Calendar and click on Advanced options.

Press Windows key + I to launch Settings app and go to Apps. Good job by the person who put it together though.

The only program I know that will do a decent job (warning i have only tested recovery myself once with this but you can research more if you wish) of deleting and overwriting without reformatting is secure delete or sdelete. I already know you do not wish to reformat your hdd, so since that is my advice I will try to offer an alternative. My question: Infrequently and at random, deleting a file via Windows 7 Explorer does not remove the file from the file list. If that is the case, I would suggest moving all needed files to external storage and then using dban or similar to overwrite the disk a few times, I think default settings are DoD compliant, but you could overwrite more times if you wish.

If you need to make it non-recoverable, many of the solutions listed above are not sufficient. More importantly, you should focus on what your idea of permanently deleting something means. Pick a way, do it right before you go to bed, wake up and it will be done. I am against using speed as a deciding factor though as all of them will take time when deleting that amount of stuff. Is speed really a concern? I would say robocopy might be the fastest way.
