How to wipe a drive clean of all data - SSD or HDD

How to wipe a drive clean of all data - SSD or HDD
Here I show you one way to fully delete all the partitions on your drive with this easy command. This way also makes the drive uninitialized as though you just purchased it and installed it. The data will still be there but would need a data recovery center to recover it.

I do this at least once or twice a week. Not the most secure way but eh it works. Good video as always PK

[@appolop8273]

Your not rushing your video's, like others do. Nice and slowwwww. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@psccomputersmissouri]

Great Job. Nice Vid PK

[@Lindastyle]

Thank you! you're a life saver!

[@PlanetKryos]

Glad yo help

[@Devin-d1r]

Would it be possible to hook my Sata Ssd to a different computer and have the boot priority on the computers main Ssd with windows instead of having to buy a docking station?

[@PlanetKryos]

Yes you can do that

[@divinelove910]

Question, could one still format their main drive from the command prompt?

[@PlanetKryos]

There are ways you can ruin it so it is not bootable, but it needs the windows environment do it the way I showed. You can install a windows 11 or 10 bootable media and delete it that way. But either way is not a secure erase. If that is what you are looking for.

[@icenote1591]

Is it possible to delete everything in the drive other than windows or do I need to re install windows? Just want to sell a old pc but still want windows on it

[@PlanetKryos]

You can't wipe this drive clean if it's in the PC you're trying to wipe it clean in so what I would do is just reinstall Windows and I have a video demonstrating that. If you have never reinstalled Windows Windows has many files that have built up over time making the PC a little slower best option is just to reinstall Windows

[@sajjadasif2751]

I followed all these steps but the 180 MB data on a 1TB disk does not get deleted - and this 180MB held is not allowing this NVME M.2 to be recognized if i use it back on the computer for new OS install - any advise

[@PlanetKryos]

Try it again

[@karstenberg3954]

You say Diskpart is doing the job? I HEAVILY doubt this! I really bet you would be able to recover the data that was stored on your drive. I might be partially wrong about NVMe drives, since they use a technique called "trim", but in general I would prefer my way, if you want to sell your PC with your drive(s): I do the stuff on a Linux (live) system and there is a different way for EACH of the three things: HDD, SATA SSD, NVMe SSD. for HDDs you can use "shred" for SATA SSDs you can use "hdparm" for NVMe SSDs you can use "nvme format" If you do have a system by Lenovo, HP and so on and you use the drive the device shipped with (no matter, whether you reinstalled Windows), they offer a secure erase function in their UEFI. But I think, I should test the thing you showed here.

[@PlanetKryos]

Yes I the data should still be there. The idea is that the average person would not know how to retrieve it nor would spend the hundreds or thousands of dollars to retrieve it. But yes, it is not a secure erase.

[@dalek.6171]

One of these, something like this? Please explain clearer. None of the linked show about 2.5 sata ssd

[@PlanetKryos]

SATA m.2 is more rare. I only showed the docking stations, not the actual drives

[@well4275]

i though it would clean junk on the drive not literlly deleting it :( what can i do to bring it back??

[@PlanetKryos]

So as you can see the title says how to wipe a drive clean of all data and during the video I even give you a warning that it wipes all of the data and you still did it and thinking it would only clean a certain part of it?

[@Avery99g]

It didn’t pop up as if I just bought it what happened

[@karlbernard5262]

thx a lot :)

[@OldMajor]

LOL... No Bleach Bit?

[@PlanetKryos]

Lol

[@bandit6048]

Now do it in Linux for me thanks

[@PlanetKryos]

That is now a viable solution for the normal user.
