To clear everything on a hard drive by writing zeros 3 times on all bytes. Approx 1 hour per 350 gb, but probably a lot longer? (Note: you will never get anything back after this)
Type: diskpart
Type: list disk
Type: clean all
To securely overwrite the free space on your hard drive (where old files can be recovered) and never be able to recover them:
Type: cipher /w:c:
/W Removes data from available unused disk space on the entire
volume. If this option is chosen, all other options are ignored.
The directory specified can be anywhere in a local volume. If it
is a mount point or points to a directory in another volume, the
data on that volume will be removed.
End
When desktop icons have gone all screwy run this in regular cmd prompt
ie4uinit.exe -show taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F DEL /A /Q "%localappdata%\IconCache.db" DEL /A /F /Q "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache*" shutdown /r /f /t 00
Warning — that last line will immediately reboot the system. You have to use it though because you shut down explorer.ext

Type : c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b
Hidden : Yes
Required: No
Attrib : 0X8000000000000000
Offset in Bytes: 524288000
Now when the Required: property is set to No, you know that is the EFI partition you can delete. The other EFI partition will have the Required: property set to Yes. Do not delete that partition.
more info about the Required property, scroll to: gpt attributes on this page.
to change the windows boot device (efi partition) use the following command:
