I am using diskpart.exe to clean a 5tb seagate and am wondering how long it will take?

Are you fully zeroing out the drive or just deleting partitions?  I zeroed a 6TB drive Seagate Ironwolf recently and took about 13 hours.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.

That depends the clean command is about instantaneous. If you run format fs=<FS> you'll be waiting several plus hours. If you run format fs=<FS> quick it should be a couple of minutes if that.
