Wiping HDD Permissions??

[Guest]

Im trying to wipe a hard drive that isnt in use anymore, but i cant seem to delete some files, getting errors such as "need permission from TrustedInstaller" or "need permission from System." How do i bypass this to wipe this drive? Or what program should i use to bypass?

Ok so i tried but it wont let me because it has a old copy of Win 10 on it "clean is not allowed on the disk containing the current boot, system, pagefile, crashdump, or hubernation volume" 

 

what now. Do i somehow uninstall windows from it?

check the disk number, see if you can delete the partition

I got rid of a partition, but cant get rid of the other one (it has windows on it so that might be a problem)

maybe i could find some way to prevent the HDD from trying to boot Windows so it isnt actively using it since i have an SSD running Windows as well?

i think you need to need to change the page file to disk 0

then try again

no disk 0 is my SSD, which would wipe my current copy of Windows and break my system

Moving the pagefile to the SSD would NOT wipe the current copy of windows, it just copies one more file to the drive.

You have these issues because you have parts of windows in both drives, since both are in use they can't be deleted.
