	To better protect deleted files from data recovery, you can reformat your device and create another encryption with a different passphrase.
	For compatibility with Tails only or with another Linux, use [[LUKS encrypted volumes\|encrypted_volumes]].
	For compatibility with Windows or macOS, use [[VeraCrypt encrypted volumes\|veracrypt]].
	<p>Take into account that you could be forced or tricked to give out your passphrase.</p>
	<h2 id="overwrite">Overwrite the entire device</h2>
	To better protect deleted files from data recovery, you can also reformat and overwrite the entire device with zeroes.
	Even if some data could still be recovered from [[spare memory cells\|secure_deletion#spare]], overwriting the entire device is especially important if the device is not encrypted.
	To do so:
	Open the Disks utility.
	All the current storage devices are listed in the left pane.
	Plug in the device that you want to reformat and overwrite.
	A new device appears in the list of devices. Click on it.
	[[!img encrypted_volumes/storage_devices_after.png class="screenshot" alt=""]]	[[!img encrypted_volumes/storage_devices_after.png class="screenshot" alt=""]]
	Check that the brand and size of the device in the right pane corresponds to your device.
	Click on the [[!img lib/view-more.png alt="Drive Options" class="symbolic" link="no"]] button in the title bar and choose Format Disk.	Clique no botão <span class="guimenu">[[!img lib/pan-down.png alt="menu toggle" class="symbolic" link="no"]]</span> na barra de título e selecione Mostrar arquivos ocultos.
	In the Format Disk dialog:	Na caixa de diálogo Formatar disco:
	Choose Overwrite existing data with zeroes (Slow) in the Erase menu.
	<div class="caution">	<div class="caution">
	<p>Overwriting existing data does not erase all data on flash memories, such as USB sticks and SSDs (Solid-State Drives).</p>
	<p>See the [[limitations of file deletion\|doc/encryption_and_privacy/secure_deletion#spare]].</p>
	</div>	</div>
	Choose Compatible with all systems and devices (MBR/DOS) in the Partitioning menu.
	Click Format.
	In the confirmation dialog, make sure that the device is correct.
	Click Format to confirm.
	<h2 id="destroy">Physically destroy the device</h2>
	As a last resort, physically destroying the device gives the strongest guarantee against data recovery.
	It is unreliable to break the device into a few pieces or burn it with wood fire.
	For top secret documents, the National Security Agency ([[!wikipedia NSA]]) of the USA recommends disintegration into particles of 2 mm. This can be achieved using a [good quality household blender](https://commons.erau.edu/jdfsl/vol16/iss2/1/).
