Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.
Either type Exit into Command Prompt to stop that command, if that does not work to stop the command, restart your PC.
Then just perform a quick Format on the drive.
How do i stop a "clean all" cmd comand?

Hej
I wanted to just clean one of my hard drives. I reinstalled Windows 11, and the extra hard drive still had data on it after this process. I just wanted it to be gone so I can start completely over with my PC. I am not going to sell it, and it is 4TB.
I started a Clean All command in the administrator Command Prompt, but it will take approximately 12 hours to clean all the data. Is there a way I can stop this process and just delete the files (the map of the files) so I can start over in a way faster way?
Thanks
