Hi

upgrading fedora to version 35 I decided to install the OS completely from zero again, instead of doing the normal upgrade.

I have a laptop with two HDDs: / dev / sda (on which windows is installed) and / dev / sdb (on which fedora 33 was previously installed).

Of course I will install Fedora 35 on the ADD / dev / sdb .., but I would like to completely clean up the old installation by formatting the old data using gparted.

A fedora install using the defaults (btrfs) "destroys" the old data.  If you are looking for a method that would prevent recovery of sensitive data 

(e.g.), if the laptop is stolen and the sensitive information was not encrypted, there are "secure" erase tools..

I would like to ask for help about to choose the pertizioni to leave and those to format .. starting from the current situation that I transcribe below:

Partition	Name	File System	Mount Point	Size	Used	Unused	Flags
/dev/sdb1	EFI System Partition	Fat 32	/boot/efi	600.00 MiB	21.58 Mib	578 MiB	Boot,esp
/dev/sdb2		ext4	/boot	1.00 GiB	295.10 MiB	728 MiB
/dev/sdb3		lvm2 pv	fedora_localhost-live	929.93 GiB	929.93 GiB	0.00 GiB	lvm
