I am currently dual booted Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.10. I know I can "erase" the Windows partition with gparted, but does that really erase the data?



I would like to run something like DBAN on the windows partition before I delete it and expand the Ubuntu one. This is an older computer (and not my primary) that I have been using to experiment with Ubuntu. I do not have much data yet, so completely wiping the drive and starting over is a possibility if wiping just the windows partition is not an option.



But, I wanted to ask... Is there any tool that will wipe the windows partition but leave the Ubuntu one intact?
