ERASING A DISK DRIVE

Erasing disks destroys the existing data on the disks. Do not use this function unless you wish to destroy the data on a disk. Exercise extreme caution when using this function, as the data on disks that are erased using this function may not be recoverable.

Quick erase only takes a few minutes to complete. However, portions of the data may be recoverable using data recovery tools. If you are concerned about erased data becoming available to others, perform a full erase. Keep in mind that a full erase takes several days to complete. If the data on SimpleShare is encrypted, it may not be necessary to perform a full erase. Since the data is encrypted, any data recovered will be encrypted. To decrypt the data requires knowledge of the encryption password.

1In the Disk Management menu, click Basic.

2Select Show Disk Details.

The Show Disk Details checkbox is located at the bottom of the Disk Management page. It may be necessary to use the scroll bar to see the checkbox.

3Click Erase Disk .
