Odstranite vse datoteke in mape iz zunanjega trdega diska ali USB ključka s formatiranjem.

# Odstranitev vsega z odstranljivega diska

If you have a removable disk, like a USB memory stick or an external hard disk, you may sometimes wish to completely remove all of its files and folders. You can do this by formatting the disk - this deletes all of the files on the disk and leaves it empty.

# Format a removable disk

Open the Disk Utility application from the Activities overview.

Select the disk you want to wipe from the Storage Devices list.

Prepričajte se, da ste izbrali pravilen disk! V primeru da izberete napačen disk, bodo vse datoteke na drugem disku izbrisane!

In the Volumes section, click Unmount Volume. Then click Format Volume.

In the window that pops up, choose a file system Type for the disk.

If you use the disk on Windows and Mac OS computers in addition to Linux computers, choose FAT. If you only use it on Windows, NTFS may be a better option. A brief description of the file system type will be presented as a label.

Disk poimenujte in za začetek izbrisa podatkov kliknite Formatiraj.

Ko se je formatiranje končalo, disk varno odstranite. Sedaj bi moral biti prazen in pripravljen za ponovno uporabo.

# Formatting a disk does not securely delete your files

Formatting a disk is not a completely secure way of wiping all of its data. A formatted disk will not appear to have files on it, but it is possible that special recovery software could retrieve the files. If you need to securely delete the files, you will need to use a command-line utility, such as shred.
