Wiping my hard drive clean?
Hi, i want to wipe my hard drive clean but not reinstall windows. Basically i want my c drive empty except for the windows folder.
Obviously i could just delete it from C:/ drive but there has got to be a better way of doing it? Thanks. |

Can't be done, anything outside of Windows (with the exception of data) needs to be uninstalled. If you just deleted like that then the registry would still be holding pointers to the non existent programs, drivers not held in the windows folder etc, and the amount of errors seen would make it unusable.
