Trying to wipe my other internal SSD, having issues with the command center
Hi! I just installed Bazzite on one of my two internal SSD's, and I am trying to wipe the other SSD so that I can use it as normal storage.
I am following the instructions on https://linuxvox.com/blog/secure-wipe-ssd-linux/ that tells me to use sudo blkdiscard, but when I try it says "blkdiscard: /dev/nvme0n1 contains existing partition (gpt).
blkdiscard: This is destructive operation, data will be lost! Use the -f option to override."
I can't figure out how to use the -f option to override, I am not sure where to put -f in the "sudo blkdiscard /dev/nvme0n1" command.
If you know what I should do, or have any other ways to wipe an ssd, please let me know. I tried installing Fedora to do it but the flatpak isnt working ð
