Wiping data from your old computer is very crucial especially if your computer contains private and confidential documents, pictures, videos and other data that can be misused once they fall on the wrong hands.

Formatting the hard drive is by far the easiest way to delete all files on a computer as it is a default option on all Windows computers. However, it is not recommended if there were important files on it because the data can be recovered with free data recovery software. I just tested it on my Dell laptop and most of the files are still accessible after a data scan. This is a dangerous thing. However, you can still follow this method if there were not private or confidential files on it.

Step 1: Click "My Computer" icon on desktop and right click the drive name (Not C:\) this time.

Step 2: From the pop-up options, there is one called "Format". Click on it and confirm the operation. Then all the data on that drive will be deleted temporarily.

Step 3: Finally, do it on system drive and shown the computer. Now, the whole hard drive will be clean and the compuetr can't boot up unless you install a new OS on it.
