I have an old laptop computer and wish to dispose it but wish to permanently erase the information on its hard drive before dispose. I wish to remove the hard drive and connect it as a slave drive to a new computer then completely wipe the information on it (on the old laptop computer’s hard drive). Does CCleaner work for this purpose in the same way CCleaner works for erasing a thumb drive connected to a computer?
I am requesting this information just to educate myself.
