Erasing hard drive

I made two attempts to erase my 2009 iMac’s hard drive following instructions on Apple’s site. I chose the most secure option for the erase. Yet, after 14 hours of waiting i see no confirmation that the hard drive has been erased. It still shows the same number of folders, owners, files used, etc. as if I didn’t even try. How can i tell that i am done?

iMac, OS X 10.11
