Erase Tails OS from USB Flash Drive | Step by Step Tutorial

Ғылым және технология

This video tutorial shows you how to completely remove the Tails operating system from a USB flash drive when you no longer need it. Tails is a privacy-focused Linux distribution that routes internet traffic through the Tor network to keep you anonymous online.
After using Tails for whatever privacy needs you had, you'll want to clear it off your USB drive so the drive can be used for other purposes again. The video walks through the full process of wiping Tails from the drive using just the Command Prompt (CMD) utility built into Windows.
Using CMD, you'll see the steps to identify which drive letter is assigned to the USB flash drive containing Tails. Then you'll learn the commands to format the drive, removing any leftover Tails files and restoring it to a clean blank state.
Erasing drives this way through CMD is a good option if you don't have any special disk utility software installed. The video explains it all clearly with visual guides so anyone can follow along and securely wipe Tails off their USB drive when they're done using it for private browsing.
After watching, you'll know how to easily get that USB drive cleared off and ready to use for normal storage again. It's a handy skill for anyone who uses Tails and wants to reuse that portable drive later.

    I used an external hard drive, didn't know I can't use it anymore after downloading tails. Did not work for me, tried multiple times, took of the hard drive multiple times and put it back again.
