$ sudo apt-get install nautilus-actions
If you don't have the wipe command installed already, you can get it using the following command.
$ sudo apt-get install wipe
Nautilus-actions is located under System>Preferences menu. You'll get the following window when you run it. To add a new action simply click on the 'Add' button.
Next, copy everything you see in the following two windows.
When your done click the OK button and close Nautilus-actions. Now you should see 'Wipe selected' command appear when you right-click on a file or folder. You will not be asked for confirmation when your wiping a file/folder so use with care.

although this is useful, it may also be dangerous (say you meant to click another option in the context menu, for instance).
a different option can be found at:
