About Diskpart Clean Command

"Diskpart" is a text mode command interpreter in Windows. When using "Diskpart" command on a disk, partition, or a volume, we can create partition, delete partition, extend partition and convert basic disk to dynamic disk, etc. "Clean" is a commonly used command in "Diskpart", and is used to rewrite the information of partitions as well as the hidden sectors. If we want to carry out this command to a disk, we should run "cmd">"diskpart">"list disk">"select disk x">"clean".

Note: "Clean all" is another command different from "clean". If this command is applied, all data will be cleared.
