How do I wipe a disk from the terminal on a Windows machine?

Output

On Windows, you can use the `diskpart` utility from the Command Prompt or PowerShell to wipe a disk. Here's how: 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator 2. Type `diskpart` and press Enter 3. Type `list disk` to see all disks 4. Select the disk you want to wipe: `select disk X` (replace X with disk number) 5. Verify you selected the correct disk! 6. To wipe the disk, type `clean` Full sequence of commands: 

1
2
3
4
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean
For a more secure wipe (writes zeros to all sectors): 
1
2
3
4
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean all
WARNING: - This permanently erases all data on the disk - Double-check the disk number before proceeding - The `clean all` command takes longer but is more thorough - Make sure you have backups of important data Alternative: You can also use the `format` command: 
1
format X: /fs:ntfs /p:1
(Replace X: with drive letter, /p:1 means one pass of zeroes)

diskpart
list disk
select disk X    (where X is the disk number you want to wipe)
clean all        (for secure wipe, takes longer)
   or
clean           (for quick wipe)
Alternative method using PowerShell (as Administrator): 
1
Clear-Disk -Number X -RemoveData    (where X is the disk number)
⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS: - Make absolutely sure you select the correct disk - This will permanently erase ALL data on the selected disk - The process cannot be undone - The system disk (usually disk 0) should not be wiped while Windows is running To see disk numbers before wiping, you can use: 
1
wmic diskdrive list brief
or 
1
Get-Disk    (in PowerShell)

1
2

4

Or for a faster but less secure wipe: 
1
2
3
4
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
clean
Important notes: - Be VERY careful to select the correct disk number - The `clean all` command writes zeros to all sectors and is more secure but slower - The `clean` command just removes the partition table and is faster - Make sure you have backed up any important data before wiping - You need administrator privileges to use diskpart Alternative method using PowerShell: 
1
Clear-Disk -Number X -RemoveData    (where X is the disk number)
To be extra safe, you can verify the disk number and size before wiping: 
1
2
diskpart
list disk
This will show you all disks and their sizes to help you identify the correct one.

How do I wipe a disk from the terminal on a Windows machine?

Output

On Windows, you can use either the `diskpart` command or `format` command to wipe a disk from the terminal. Here are both methods: Using DiskPart: 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator 2. Enter these commands: 

1
2
3
4
diskpart
list disk
select disk X    (replace X with your disk number)
clean            (this will wipe all partitions and data)
Using Format command: 
1
format X: /fs:NTFS /p:1    (replace X with drive letter)
- /fs:NTFS specifies the file system - /p:1 performs one pass of zeroing out data ⚠️ IMPORTANT WARNINGS: - Make absolutely sure you select the correct disk/drive - This will permanently erase all data - System drive (usually C:) cannot be wiped while Windows is running - Back up any important data before proceeding For a more secure wipe (multiple passes), you can use third-party tools or PowerShell scripts.

How do I wipe a disk from the terminal on a Windows machine?

Output

On Windows, you can use several command-line tools to wipe a disk from the terminal (Command Prompt). Here are a few methods: 1. Using `format` command: 

1
format X: /fs:NTFS /p:1
(Replace X: with your drive letter, /p:1 specifies one pass of zeroing) 2. Using `diskpart`: 
1
2
3
4
diskpart
list disk
select disk X    (Replace X with disk number)
clean all
3. Using `cipher` (built-in Windows command): 
1
cipher /w:X:
(Replace X: with drive letter) For complete disk wiping with multiple passes, you might want to use third-party tools like: 4. Using `sdelete` (Microsoft Sysinternals tool): First download sdelete, then: 
1
sdelete -z X:
or for multiple passes: 
1
sdelete -p 3 X:
Important notes: - Always run Command Prompt as Administrator - Be extremely careful with these commands as they permanently delete data - Double-check the drive letter/number before executing - Backup important data before wiping - Some commands might not work on system drives
