How to wipe, erase and completely reset your HDD / SSD / NVME / Flash Drive back to factory settings

Run CMD as administrator

Type DISKPART (enter)

Type LIST DISK (enter)

Carefully select the drive you want to reset by typing:

SELECT DISK 1 (1 is the number of the drive you want to reset and press enter)

type CLEAN (enter)

drive is now wiped of all partitions, formats and data.

type EXIT (enter)

and again type EXIT (enter)

All done.

Please note, this is NOT a SECURE ERASE. That takes a lot of time and puts a lot of wear and tear on the drive!!!

The SATA-to-USB adapter will not provide enough power for 3.5/” desktop HDDs. For those you will need to have an external 3.5/” HDD dock, or keep the drive installed in the PC.
