How do I permanently delete files, photos from sd card on Windows PC?
- Feb 18, 2025
+1 for Dr.Wiper. One of the best solutions for completely delete files from SD card. I used it a couple of times on my PC and no data recovery software could find the deleted files. Here is the step-by-step tutorial:

In Windows' Disk Management tool, select the SD card and choose Complete Format (uncheck "Quick Format"). This method is more thorough than a quick format, but it is still possible to recover some data.
These methods are suitable for situations where you need to completely delete photos on SD card. You can choose the appropriate method based on your needs. If the data is particularly sensitive, third-party tools and professional erasure software will be more effective.
