Cleaning Disc for Next Project

I don't know how to ask this without sounding really stupid but... Is there any suggestions to deleting all the previous projects files (captures, temp files, the WHOLE deal)? What is considered the most effective and also what is considered the least time consuming?
I've been going into Windows Explorer and manually deleting all the files after a project is done ( doing low-budget weddings and music concerts DVDs/VHS for now) and I just have this nagging feeling that there is a better way; maybe even from within Vegas 4.0 and/or DVD-A.
Appreciate the help so my paranoia can go away!

I have a couple of disks dedicated just to holding footage and files for productions. Once finished, and I know I don't need any of it any more (or I have backed up what I do need), I just format the drives. Cleans everything up, is quicker that deleting by hand, and saves the need for a defrag.

If you are working in a shared disk, then in future keep everything under a seperate directy structure so can delete it when done. Then do a defrag of the disk to get the contiguous space back.
