I inadvertently created a copy of confidential Pages document that 
resides on an encrypted sparsebundle on my spinning Macintosh HD (Mojave 
10.14.3).

How can I securely delete the copy?

I guess I could just drag it to the trash bin, empty the trash bin and 
then wipe the free space on the drive- but that seems like time 
consuming over-kill.
