Can I wipe my hard drive by simply going to add/remove programs and removing everything on it?

P.S. My computer has a virus and I'm trying to get rid of it.

  1. If you want to get rid of it,just reinstall windows.What you want to do won't work,there are still thousands of files after you delete everything there.


  2. If you want to completely wipe your hard drive you need to format it. This means that you pretty much put in your windows CD into your CD/DVD drive, Restart the computer, and run through the format process. There are many videos on Youtube that will help you with this. This will leave you with an empty hard drive and only windows installed

  3. Redo Windows and it will completely Remove everything
