How To Delete All Partitions On A Hard Drive Or SSD Using Windows 10

How to delete all partitions on a HDD hard drive or SSD with Windows 10 and diskpart command prompt. This tutorial explains the steps it takes to remove every partition on a hard drive so that it will be a completely clean slate to be formatted and filled with files of your choice, this removes any boot EFI partition, OEM partition or system recovery partition that is usually present on a system drive and let's this one be converted to a dedicated media storage drive.
Remember that you should not remove system partitions on the hard drive your system is installed on as this will prevent you from booting the computer, only do this when you wanna convert an old system drive to a storage drive for files or if another OS is getting installed on it. Hope it helps and take care!

I spent over 6 hours watching videos and trying to clean disk. You explained it in 5 minutes... Big thanks dude !!!

Thanks man, this video was clever, simple and direct. Youtube needs more guys like you:)

[DaveTheGreat]

If you just want to delete all partitions at once, enter diskpart, select your disk and then write the command “clean”
Edit: after deleting all of your partitions they will override and then you just want to write the command “create partition primary” while the disk is selected

Excellent. You got rid of a lot of frustration caused by consolidating files onto another disk, leaving me a 10T HDD empty, but with 9 partitions, and not knowing how to get rid of them.

Just what I needed. Moved an old SSD from another computer to use a extra storage on the new computer, couldn't figure out how to clean the drive. Great job Thanks!

[randomname]

This is the type of videos I like. straight to the point no extra bullsh*t. This helped heaps thank you keep this up

[Shamimfarsi]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I had a clone M.2 NVMe SSD and now I am building a new system and I wanted a clean slate. So easy. Thank you very much! Direct to the point.

[edmundverwey]

I had the exact same problem as Poppa Steve and I'm sure others as well. The perfect tutorial. Thank you very much from a South African 72 year old noob. Keep up the good work son.

[Smedleydog]

You are still helping people two years later. Thanks

[MoneyShotMatt]

I watched 4 other videos and this was the only one that I was able to follow and get it done. Thanks boss!

[MrJayOhare]

Hey man thanks for the vid well spoken in what I think isn’t your first language, clearly explained and easy to follow thanks

[computertechnician]

I like your videos, but what about just using "clean" ?
Warning: Once you type clean and hit enter the drive will be erased. No warning will be provided.
Same as in the video
type "diskpart" and press Enter
type "list disk" and press Enter.
choose which disk you want to delete then in this case disk1
type "select disk 1"
type "clean" and press Enter. disk 1's partition, data, and signature is now removed. You will return to the diskpart prompt.

Just got an SSD which had windows loaded on it and wanted to use it as a storage drive. This video really helped!! Thanks!!

[nelonez]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Very helpful and much appreciated. I spent a few hours on how to accomplish this and your video had me solved in less than 15 minutes.

[abenezerpacheco]

You are a life saver. I've used a video of yours to copy disks and now this to delete the original disk so I can use it as storage.

[HenryEIje]

Thank you! I have been on this the past 5-hours. After watching your video, I did it in less than 5 minutes

[doomslayer]

Thanks I was trying to find a solution for over a month and this solved it in less than 5mins.

[MarkM_DIY]

This video was very helpful. It was the clearest and best of the handful of videos I watched to help me remove partitions from an old hard drive without having to use and download third party software. Thank you for making it. Well done!

[tertia]

Best way to clear the drive contents completely. Excellent.

[dontdowhatido]

THANK YOU!! finally, someone that had info instead of just telling me to right click and delete
