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 might be 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 program 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.
