I'm currently using a live CD and I am attempting to delete everything off of my harddrive. So, I've used the command sudo nautilus
and attempted to delete everything off of my SSD. However, I cannot delete the folder rofs
(Read only file system). I generally would have absolutely no issues with this, however, I believe it is causing everything I delete to come back to life upon restarting the computer.
Prior to using Nautilus to do this, I've used sudo shred -vz -n 1 /dev/sda2
, and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda2
but it doesn't seem to work. The grub loader still exists, I wish to demolish it, and preferably all other files.
How can I remove the grub loader, and if possible, how can I delete the rofs
folder entirely?
/dev/sda2
after cleaning? Do you have any other partitions on this SSD?dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
. Mounting is the operation that precedes viewing disk contents.
