I haven't tested this, but maybe Spybot S&D's "Shredder" tool could kill those files.
Open up Spybot in Advanced Mode. Click "Tools" and then "Secure Shredder".
I think you can either drag & drop or right click "Add…".

Re:That link doesn't work; I see a "remote linking prohibited" gif. Edit: guess copying to address bar works in IE, not Opera. Another nuisance!
Your external is no longer connected to your friend's computer, but still has undeletable files?
