I think reformatting only destroys the linkage between blocks. The data
remains.

Write in 'C' for DOS something that will write to a file until the disk is
full. Boot into DOS from floppy delete everything and run your disk filler.
And reformat for good measure.

Repeat until paranoid concerns are diminished to acceptable levels.
