Delete documents?

I'm selling my laptop to someone in my family. I shouldn't delete or reset everything because the virus program and Word should stay on it. Deleting the apps is quick, but all downloads and documents take a long time. Can I delete them all at once?

Ctrl + A then right click> delete

Wow instead of answering something like that, leave it straight away

If you have 2 hard disks on the laptop - the system, virus scanner and office program are on disk C - but your data is probably on D… And you can then format them. Or you can delete the individual folders

The answer is correct. Go to the "Downloads" folder and press "CTRL + A" on your keyboard. Then all downloads are marked and can be deleted in one go.

Do you understand that?

But everything can be restored without any problems.

I hope it's an anti-virus program ;-) Otherwise it seems difficult to me. Everything you will delete there can be easily restored. Doesn't seem like the smartest approach to me.

You could try to delete everything so far, empty the recycle bin and then overwrite the remaining free space on the hard drive with "pointless data".

Then you would at least have cleaned up the worst. But that's not nice.

Better to write out the "Office data". The calculator e.g. With https://dban.org/

Flatten and reinstall everything.
