Whether you should is based on your company's policy, but I'm not your daddy, so you can sort that one out yourself.
Whether you can, or at least how effectively you can, is predicated on whether you have full administrative privileges on the device. Assuming you do, go to Settings > System > Recovery > Reset this PC (at least on my version of Windows. You can literally just search "reset this pc" and you'll be able to find it). Choose the full destructive option which removes all personal data and settings. Assuming you aren't trying to wipe anything... problematic... off the drive, this should be plenty.
If you don't have admin access, come back and we can see what you have access to.

I do not have administrative access. And there is nothing problematic on my computer that I need to get rid of. It's really just any of my personal data that might have gotten stored here, like logins, passwords and credit cards. I'm not looking to (and don't have access to) completely wipe the computer. Just the basics (like cleaning my caches, deleting cookies, temporary files, etc.). Just want to make sure I'm covering all my bases.
