Re: Cleaning up old laptop
If you're just looking to make a clean start with your system the best way is to reinstall from scratch. Formatting a drive wipes everything - you cannot selectively reformat. If you're looking to wipe everything with the intention of selling then you need to do rather more if you have any concerns about possible recovery of deleted private files.
