What apps can I use to wipe
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.

I wanna overwrite the entire drive including unused space
...
DBAN (Darik's Boot and Nuke) is what you're looking for.
shred or dd
If you're on wangblows it doesn't matter because microsoft has all your data.
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?
it is
This
I.have mechanical
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
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.
/dev/zero
Treesize
your ssd should be able to withstand this like nothing lol, if it doesn't then seek a replacement
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?
Underrated
but if I need to make it so the data isnt recoverable what am I supposed to do?
Fly low are we ?
Bleachbit was good enough for Mz. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.
HDDErase (only correct answer you'll get).
microwave it for a minute & take a hammer to it
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.
Underrated
Use encryption. Makes disk wiping obselete
Hillary is that you?
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?
