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

    I used to replace the disk drive before handing it in. That way, for a minimal investment, I’d get to keep my data and they got a never before used drive. That’s only possible if your laptop has an upgradeable. drive rather than a soldered on one.
