hi,

My company gave me a laptop for work and after some time they will give it to another person when I quit the company so I want to make sure I don’t leave any of my data behind so which command should I run to delete my home directory to delete all the data?

is it just rm -rf /home/myname

    Just having part of your file system encrypted is insufficient, ram can get swapped to disc, files can get written to temporary file locations, log files can leave fingerprints, if there’s any part of the drive that’s unencrypted, the disk has to be considered tainted
