security - Can I rely on TRIM to destruct data after file deletion?

I have a broken laptop that I want to return and I have some passwords already stored for it in the browser. I can delete the (Firefox) files that contain this data.


Can I rely on TRIM to destroy the underlying data? Or are there situations where the data will not be destroyed? If so, is there any method of forcing destruction of the data (besides SECURE ERASE)?
