    Windows 10 recovery doesnt wipe my hard-disk


    I want to clean re-install windows on my PC. I've already backed up all the files I want onto an external drive, and simply want to wipe ALL files on my internal drive and ssd. I want to then cleanly re-install windows and essentially start from scratch.

    I went to settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Reset this PC and selected remove everything. I changed the settings to remove all files from all drives but when I click "show me the list of drives that will be affected" only "D:" drive is listed. The first time round, when I did this, it only removed everything from my C: drive (the way I intended).

    However as seen in my disk management - I want to remove the (disk 0 partition 2) which has the system partition in it. I don't know why this drive now has my system partition either.

    I'm confused as to what to do and what the issue is to just start anew.

    Please help!

    :)

    Good day

    By installing the new Windows 10, will my hard disk be wiped?

    Or will all my data be kept on my CPU after the installation?

    Thank you
