Yup, and many security suites will include a tool that writes all 0s or garbage to those sectors so the data can’t be recovered as easily (you really need multiple passes for it to be gone for good).
right, i’m super out of date but you;d want to do shred or some dd dev/random > device thing to securely erase them.
