If there is/was more than one partition, delete all partitions, then create one partition which is the entire drive, format it, then use Eraser to clean
all free space.

Can anyone suggest a good way to wipe an external USB drive?  I tried
deleting the partition, and then a reformat, but I can still recover data
from the drive using recovery tools.

They make DOS programs like Wipe Drive (accessdata.com), but they don't seem

to work on USB devices.

Thanks,
B. Rudnicke
