Deleting Data

By HuntPost IT Dept. - Published 2020-02-19

It has recently come to the Huntington Post that the people need quick and efficient ways to destroy data on Hard Drives, Solid States, and Llamas. Let’s get started.

1. Quick Wipe is obviously the best way to make sure data is irretrievable.
2. Right Click + Delete will nuke data
3. The DELETE key on the keyboard
4. Spilling liquid in the holes on the top of the drive then turning it on
5. WINDOWS + D, CTRL + A, WINDOWS + R, ENTER
6. Tell Gerald Fitz it has communist chairs hiding incandescent lights in it
7. Fire a cannon at it
8. Fire it out of a cannon
9. Remove all the partitions and add them back
10. Install Windows
11. rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
12. Microwave
13. Put it on the internet for sale
14. Send it to Uganda
15. Use a paper shredder
16. Use a magnetized needle to erase it bit-by-bit
17. Pencil Erasers work
18. Incinerator
19. Throw it into a test fusion reactor
20. Rocket it into the sun
21. Throw it in a volcano
22. Go back in time and place it at Chernobyl
23. Go back in time and put it on the Titanic
24. Launch it into a hurricane with a slingshot
25. Drop it in Challenger Deep

As research progresses into storing data as biological mega-compounds, data will become harder to destroy. So, here are the ones that work with erasing biological data: 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25.
