Cleaning a drive to factory state using the DiskPart utility in Windows. This can be useful if an SSD or hard disk becomes corrupted, or if a USB thumb drive or other device used for Linux install cannot be fully accessed in Windows.

As noted in the video, please take great care when using the DiskPart clean command, as it rapidly removes all data and partitions from a drive.
