Notice on deleting data from your hard disk drive or solid-state drive
As computers spread into every corner of life, they process more and more information. The data on your
computer, some of which is sensitive, is stored on a hard disk drive or solid-state drive. Before you dispose
of, sell, or hand over your computer, be sure to delete data stored on it.
Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating
systems and application software, might even violate license agreements. You are advised to check the
terms and conditions of those license agreements.
There are methods that seem to delete the data:
• Move the data to the recycle bin, and then click Empty recycle bin .
• Use the Delete option.
• Format your hard disk drive or solid-state drive, using the software for initializing it.
• Using the recovery program, provided by Lenovo, bring the hard disk drive or solid-state drive back to
the factory default settings.
These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In
other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The
data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of
special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith might read and misuse the critical
data on hard disk drives or solid-state drives for unexpected purposes.
To prevent leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data
from the hard disk drive or solid-state drive when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You
can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk drive or solid-state drive with a hammer, or
magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend
that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay service) specifically developed for the purpose.
For disposing of data on the hard disk drive or solid-state drive, Lenovo provides the Secure Data Disposal
tool. To download the application, go to:
