How do I delete everything off these computers so when I sell them I don't have to worry about our old stuff clogging up the new users space?

I see there is a way to zero everything out, but does that delete everything, including the user accounts and everything?

I just want to be able to hand it to someone like it's a brand new computer for them.

You need to get your start up disk and you can reinstall the Mac OSx software and it should start from scratch just like you opened it when it was new.

What happens, per say, it's my wife's computer and she doesn't know where that disk is anymore? Would zeroing out everything be ok? Or is there another way around it?

Nevermind, those disks are 16 bucks. I just deleted what I could, created a new Admin Account, logged into that account, erased hers and then zeroed out everything else.
