What apps can I use to wipe hdd and free space?

ToiletPaper.exe

If you're on UNIX-like system, just log in your root account and type the following command "rm -rf /" this will free up a lot of gigabytes.

DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) is what you're looking for.
>>
>>57315306
shred or dd

If you're on wangblows it doesn't matter because microsoft has all your data.
>>
>>57315612
DBAN for a full and guaranteed wipe, Active@Killdisk if you're in a hurry (can stop wiping at 10% and it will be done unless you have a HUGE hard drive)
>>
Not op but isn't DBAN usless for SSDs?
>>
>>57315732
it is

dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX

BleachBit, it's approved by the future president of the United States

It's too late when the Feds already have your husband's machine, Huma

Ok op is done

"The rm -rf variant of the command, if run by a superuser on the root directory, would cause the contents of nearly every writable mounted filesystem on the computer to be deleted, up to the point the system itself crashes from missing some crucial file, directory, or the like."

so basically this

why?
How do I wipe an ssd?
>>
literally google it, oh wait you probably can't use google because you're a pedo
>>
>>57316443
If you overwrite everything on an SDD, the system will think the SDD is full and radically decrease the life expectancy of the drive. You can do some shenanigans where you have an unused partition on the SDD that's larger than some drive-specific threshold, but it's simpler to just not nuke the drive.
>>
>>57315306
/dev/zero

Treesize

>>57316683
your ssd should be able to withstand this like nothing lol, if it doesn't then seek a replacement
>>
>>57315585

If I were to wipe a drive using DB&N then sell it, just HOW wiped would it be?

Would it be possible for a crack squad of elite Russian hackers to find traces of my bank account details and such?
>>
>>57315558
Underrated

>>57316683
but if I need to make it so the data isnt recoverable what am I supposed to do?

Bleachbit was good enough for Mz. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

>>57315306
HDDErase (only correct answer you'll get).

>>57318398

microwave it for a minute & take a hammer to it

>>57317123
Well first of all, no method of wiping is complete, but at some point you've got to admit its enough that nobody will ever see your rare squirrel porn.

HOWEVER

If you'd just toss it on a USB stick and load it up you'd see you have complete control over HOW wiped it is, letting it be more and more thorough at increased time to get it done. You can pick different PRNG and amount of passes to the content of your paranoid pedantic ass

Try it out!

Doesn't the new windows 10 reset pseudo-fresh install where you choose to delete your personal files also format the hard drive?

Curious because I gave my old build to my parents and it had a lot of loli porn on it. None of my files were on there and it was like I had just installed the OS for the first time.

Incinerate until all that is left is silicon slag in a pool of metal.

You need an app now to press shift+delete for you?
