Reformat and multiple overwrite still give loophole for recovery. Just burn or break the hdd to ensure the disc inside unable to be read and the needle also broke off.

You have to delete everything, then fill the disk again with fake data, then delete the fake data.

You use a program called DBAN, and use it to do 5 passes of writing zeros to the disk. (That is if it is a spinning platter disk and not a SSD)

Occasionally I pick up old computers from the side of the road. Crazy thing is about half of them are never reset and still retain personal information such as financial documents, family photos, etc. While I always format the drives for other uses, if their information got into the wrong hands, it could be dangerous. Also, I hope they made backups of their data lol.

Format the hdd, then fill it with anything that’s not useful and doesn’t contain your identity. Do this for at least 2 to 3 times. This will help in masking the original content of the hdd.

I have to come in and short this thread out. HDD, the mechanical type require a minimum of 7 complete random overwrites to be considered legally wiped. This will render all data useless as the platter will have had any magnetic traces removed. Flash storage works a little differently but it also has a half life, when the gate empties on that section of flash to signal an empty block it doesn't entirely discharge some current will remain, not enough for normal drive operation to consider it populated but certainly enough for some retrieval tools to consider it populated. After formatting flash media allow the power to the drive to die and leave it sitting. This will further degrade the remaining power from almost empty gates, the gate is open so it will leak out. Then 1 random overpass to ensure no filetable information got restored and that all gates are completely randomised, if you do not randomise the drive only format it, some tools will restore parts of the drive. So HDD, min 7 random overpasses Flash, Format, Power drain, 1 Random overpass If anyone manages to restore this they should win a nobel peace prize.

I removed the HDD from my laptop, wrapped it in cling film, then put A LOT of vaseline on it, and stuck it up my bottom. I had recently seen a documentary on drug mules, and I may have been mistaken by some of the techniques used by drug mules in this documentary. My bowels are ruined, of course.

Create a video about how we can delete our data for ever.

To the people saying you should delete, everything, write a bunch of fake data, etc. Why not just have a program completely overwrite all of the data as 0s? Can't recover shit from that

Use low level format on hard drives erases with 0's

Typical problem. Old people don't realize much about laptops, sell them away with all personal data. It's just they have not much knowledge about tech and internet risks. Erase everything is important before sell it away.

ALWAYS ENCRYPT YOUR HARD DRIVES

That's why I have all my old disk physically destroyed and not sold...

Just put viruses on your old laptop and let the games begin for the poor sucker who dares to boot that bad boy up. 😂

Selling a computer and laptop? Replace the SSD/HDD entirely and if you do not need it dispose of it properly, you can recover stuff from formatted and deleted files as shown because it is not truly deleted.

There are methods of wiping data that are used or were created by the DoD to prevent a full restore of all deleted info. I'm sure anyone watching this channel is probably familiar with what im talking about though

...i think that's illegal

This is gaining unauth privs to someones laptop 🤓

I think ltt review a thumb stick that could delete and format your storage so that no trace of prior data could be restored.

there's ways to completely delete data

There are also enough users around who think files are deleted by moving them into the trashbin 😞

Yeee, this is why I'll never sell an old phone or laptop (course, a laptops storage can be replaced 99% of the time) A mate of mine works with the police and says how easy it is to fish up 'deleted' files lol

Thats why i either bin or reuse my storage while getting new for the stuff i sell or selling without storage

And this is why most companies data policy is to shred the old hard drives to physically destroy the platters

Why is Sam at the end of the video?

That is why we should have a law that make it punishable to recover data without persons knowledge and consent. Even you wouldn't use it for crimnal activity, you make it possible for other criminals to potentially get data and use it for their benefits. Not everyone is computer genius how computer stores data and where it stores it.

Crazy? or Creepy? And who is the creepiest?

Make sure to wipe out the disk, either zeroing the whole disk or if possible, just destroy the HDD altogether.

This is how sold your old lap ssd separately

I have never sold or dumped any disk drive for that reason.

Alright, so, people have been giving tips on how to mask your data when wiping a drive. The best way is to use actual drive wiping software to make all the bits 0 or 1 (or both multiple times)

Drill a hole on that hard drive

me with laptop that had only cracked games and nothing important :ohhhhh interesting

I still got the last 3 laptops I've owned an about 30 phones downstairs I don't let my electronics go since the day I learned how to program.

Thats why I put my black hole node_modules on my D drive😂😂

use one of many wiping programs to safely wipe out all free space, then you can sell it

never sold my laptop with used HDD, I always replaced it or if its cheap laptop just sell it without one

Always format your hdd and then again full it with some useless data and format it again perform this process atleast 2 times same with phone

Smash the hard drive, and pull out the physical disc inside it, and smash it into a million pieces, most reliable way of destroying its data. For SSDs, do the same with the flash chip thingies on the drive.

this is why i use linux with full disk encryption

Just wipe your HHD/SSD/Storage Medium and then sell it. That will remove stored data from your storage medium completely. Deleting and formating actually does not delete your data. It just removes your data from the partition table. It does not delete it because it will be waste of time to overwrite your data with null charachters in storage. You can just make that space available to overwrite new data. So! wiping overwrite every block of sotrage so that not any trace of previous data left. Reformating multiple time is not going to you in any way. You will be just deleteing only partition table again and again. So just wipe it or overwrite your whole storage meduim with new data if you wants to waste your time.

How about instead of fear mongering with music in the background you just make a short informative video showing people who don't know how to properly clean a disk before selling. That has way more value than "WOAW LOOK WHAT WE DID WITH A SIMPLE DATA RECOVERY TOOL"

@ElizabethUkeh

He can do both. Use this short to drive interest for an indepth video on how to delete your data forever.

For those who want to sell your laptop especially those who use HDD, it's recommended to Use the *US DoD 5220.22* Method or the *Gutmann Method* to Permanently wipe your hard drive. I learned this from a friend who works as a Data Recovery Professional

That's why i never sell any of my phones or disk drives i just destroy them or put them somewhere in a corner where only I know

That's why I always take out drives from devices I sell. If that's not possible, I format them with DBAN (a free bootable software to safely erase disks). Then you can't restore the files without having to pay enormous amounts of money

Tip burn(or remove)that storage

Remove you hdd or ssd before sell you device.

Before selling your HDD or laptop with HDD. Full clean your HDD. HDD doesn't fully delete your data when it's deleted, rather it just delete the entry of files. So anyone can restore back your data. This shouldn't be problem for SSD. Idk why they made this thing like that. Probably because of HDD is much slower.

@williamthesloth

No need to full clean. It takes too long. Way more simple is to just enable bitlocker on the disk and let it encrypt the files.

I wonder What methods did you use to recover the data, 🤔🤔

Where's the full video

How you recover files that can you explain about that

We looked up his Browser history

Harddrive and ssd data can ve recovered since data isnt deleted because thats an cpu heavy task so if you ever want sell your old laptop with all the data in it just make sure you would 0 your entire disk it would take hours there are couple of software out there

Secure erase HD, minimum 2 full zero passes

Remove the HDD, or smash it

Why would you do that?

I once, accidentally found someone's nude imgs on a second hand bought phone. It was crazy, i opened the locked folder and saw it. Even tho the phone was reset many times before and after i owned the phone, it still didnt disappear. So peeps, bc!

Nice Doxing Prople

This is why i use my old hdd ore ssd for my home server, and not sell

I acid wash my hard drive

I won’t sell my laptop now. I will just destroy it and bury it.😂😂

Now i know to buy an ssd or a hdd for selling my laptop or pc..😅

I use bleachbit and a rag on hard drives/computers and a hammer on old phones. Worked for Hillary.

Brother, how did u recoverd ? Please tell bro , I lost my data (memories) 😢, please help me

Always DBAN, and unless the FBI are are after you, a single overwrite pass will put things beyond easy recovery. The multiple overwrite patterns were also designed to work with traditional MFM / RLL media formats and stepper motor tracking. The way the capacity is achieved on modern drives leaves very little room for traces

@Sumsubcom since HDD data can be recoverable since data in the disk content aren't 'removed' fully but rather waiting to be replaced yet, but what about SSD? Although it could be the same thing, right??

Scare mongering. Very unlikely something bad will happen to your old machine. Thankfully criminals tend not to be very smart people.

Not just laptop, your phone as well. I talked to an expert who said there's always that risk. The best way would be not to sell any. Though I did hear that you could try overwrite EVERYTHING to full. That way the previous data is gone for good. Not sure how secure that would be. If you're selling laptop or pc, take out your disk.
