I have some old pcs that I’m going to donate. What’s the safest way to erase the hard drives so none of my data is on there?
minus-squarejohndoesall@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWhen I donated my last computer to a PC shop they asked me to remove the drive first before they would take it. I could always use the drive after formatting for a backup drive. Presuming you have already moved the old data to your new hard drive.
