    The Diskpart “clean all” command will erase the drive's contents securely. It will write over every sector on the disk and zero out completely to delete data on the disk. And the deleted data cannot be recovered via usual tools.

    Same goes with full format it will erase the drive's contents securely.
    Here's the problem with that and an SSD. Once all those zeroes and ones are written to all the cells on the SSD, the cells must be reset anyway so that they can accept new data. As many members here, and myself are about to say to @Sapien 1, it is a total 100% waste of time, especially given that they are not even going to lose possession of the drive, they are going to reuse it! But @Sapien 1 seems to have no interest in following our advice here so they will go ahead and use some website's program with a DHS seal on it downloaded from the internet to do excess writes to the SSD followed by re-installing Windows 10 that they paid over $200 for just so they could have the "official" Microsoft DVD or USB flash drive that came with the boxed edition of Windows 10.

    @Sapien 1 clearly has no idea how SSD's work, nor how Windows 10 licensing works, which is perfectly fine. But when we try to tell them how it works, we just get ignored.
