Hi
I'd like to completely delete all partitions on disk sdb:
the command fdisk /dev/sdb:
Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.38.1).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.
This disk is currently in use - repartitioning is probably a bad idea.
It's recommended to umount all file systems, and swapoff all swap
partitions on this disk.
I also tried wipefs --all --force /dev/sdb
but the three partitions are still there in the GUI.
What am I supposed to do to clear the entire disk?
Thanks
