My goal was to mass erase these disks from the command line and so far I hadn’t had much luck. With Windows I knew I was going to have to take a different approach, with Linux, I knew exactly what I had to do to kill this system.

I decided to attack Windows from the same attack point as I was hitting Linux. Instead of trying to do a low level erasure of my files I was just going to recursively delete them. So after a little mucking around at the command prompt, I came up with del /F /S /Q *. Linux was a no brainer. All I had to do was escalate my permissions with sudo, sudo rm -Rf * to be exact.
