Windows tool Diskpart securely erases data from hard drives

The Windows tool Diskpart can securely delete data from traditional hard drives by overwriting it with zeros. This method is effective for HDDs but not suitable for solid-state drives (SSDs). To use Diskpart, open the command prompt as an administrator and enter the command "diskpart." Users can then list connected disks and select the one to erase. The deletion process is irreversible. Diskpart cannot delete the system partition. For that, a bootable deletion system is required. Users can create one using tools like Rufus to copy the system to a USB stick.
