How to Delete Files from External Hard Drive Permanently in Windows

Geeks - To delete files from an external hard drive permanently in Windows, you can use the following steps:

Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the files you want to delete.

Select the files you want to delete and press the Delete key on your keyboard.

If a confirmation window appears, click Yes to confirm the deletion.

The files will be permanently deleted and will not be recoverable.

Note: If you want to make sure that the files are not recoverable, you can use a file shredding utility such as CCleaner to securely delete the files. This will overwrite the files multiple times, making it impossible to recover them.
