Steps to Run DiskPart Clean All Command to Erase SSD Drive

Geeks - Open a command prompt as an administrator. To do this, type "cmd" into the Start menu search bar, then right-click on the "Command Prompt" result and select "Run as administrator".

Type "diskpart" into the command prompt and press Enter to launch the DiskPart utility.

Type "list disk" and press Enter to see a list of all disks attached to your computer.

Type "select disk X" where "X" is the number of the SSD you want to erase. For example, if the SSD is listed as disk 2 in the list of disks, you would type "select disk 2".

Type "clean all" and press Enter to erase all data from the selected SSD. This process will take some time to complete, depending on the size of the SSD.

Once the clean all command has finished running, type "exit" and press Enter to exit the DiskPart utility.

You can now use the SSD as if it were a new drive, without any of the old data on it.

Note: The clean all command is a destructive operation that permanently erases all data from the selected SSD. Make sure you have backed up any important data from the SSD before running this command.
