You can use
shredinstead ofrm, but even there the chance of recovering the files exist. If you have you homedir encrypted, just nucking the encrypted drive would do. Or you can replace the drive with a new, cheap one.Just having part of your file system encrypted is insufficient, ram can get swapped to disc, files can get written to temporary file locations, log files can leave fingerprints, if there's any part of the drive that's unencrypted, the disk has to be considered tainted
That's why you
shredfrom a live cd, rather than from the live system, right?
