How Can I delete all things from my computer?
I’ve decided to use my laptop to test files for viruses before running them on my desktop. Since the laptop was previously used for work, it may contain sensitive information. I’ve already erased the operating system, but I’m unsure if that removed everything except what the laptop needs to operate. I want to ensure there’s absolutely no information left on it. I’m aware that a factory reset may not eliminate everything.
Before you start this process, double-check that you’ve backed up anything you might need later. Once you wipe the drive, there's no getting it back!
If you had any connection to personal accounts, banking details, or similar, you might want to ensure those accounts are properly logged out or disabled.
