What exactly OS are you using?
For Linux If you're using Linux, you have "shred" command built in, you could write bash script, something like this: Quote:#!/bin/bash echo 'Are you sure you want to delete your disk?' echo '[Y/N]' read answer if [ $answer == y ] then lsblk -f sudo shred -vfzu -n 5 /dev/sda elif [ $answer == Y ] then lsblk -f sudo shred -vfzu -n 5 /dev/sda elif [ $answer == n ] then echo 'You told us to not delete anything!' echo 'So we will not' echo 'Come back when you are sure' else echo 'You told us to not delete anything!' echo 'So we will not' echo 'Come back when you are sure' fi For Windows I suggest using tool called DBAN - Darik's Boot and Nuke. Edit: @Sleepyftw told you that CC Cleaner has that option, but it has been proven that it's not effective as they're claiming to be, many files were recoverable after doing it with CC Cleaner P S H Y O T I C

I don't know what your intention is with erasing all the data from SSD, but SSDs are written to differently than perhaps HDD, and it also uses a technique called "wear leveling," which writes sectors randomly. This makes it difficult to fully and securely wipe a drive to prevent it from being recovered. You can do it to erase a drive, but it won't really remove the data. So, first of all if your primary goal is to protect yourself from something use encryption (simple as that). And in the other hand you have "SDelete" which runs from command line P S H Y O T I C
