I understand that when a file is deleted it is still there. The actual data is still on the HD but the link has been deleted. I'd like to develop a way to "really" delete a file. How is it possible to delete an entire file permanently?

Umm something like a WipeFile? Thats the only way to make a File unrecoverable you cant just permanently delete the file without being replaced by stuff, this WipeFile just replaces the file with stuff so it you will not be able to open it and then it will be deleted so it the File recover softwares will recover it, they will not be able to open it, I don't think you can permanently delete a file until it is replaced!

Yes, just fill a file with all 0s and then all 1s and then 0s again, then delete it (remove the link).
