Definition

Disk Erasure is the process of securely deleting all data on a disk to ensure that it cannot be recovered by any means.

Disk erasure is crucial for data sanitization, ensuring that sensitive information is completely removed from storage devices before they are repurposed, disposed of, or transferred to another party.
