Para desinstalar Tails de una memoria USB y usarla para otra cosa, la debes resetear.

The content of the USB stick is lost in the operation, but an attacker might still be able to tell that Tails was installed on that USB stick using data recovery techniques.

You might overwrite any hard disk on the computer.

If at some point you are not sure about which device to choose, stop proceeding.

Erase Tails from the USB stick

First, erase Tails from the USB stick:

  1. Asegúrate de que el dispositivo USB que quieres resetear está desconectado.

  2. Open the Start () menu.

  3. Choose Windows System ▸ Command Prompt.

  4. Execute the following command to start the Diskpart utility.

    diskpart

  5. Ejecuta el comando siguiente para obtener información acerca de los discos en la computadora.

    list disk

    Por ejemplo:

    Diskpart> list disk

  Disk ###  Status      Size     Free     Dyn  Gpt
  --------  ----------  -------  -------  ---  ---
  Disk 0    Online        80 GB      0 B

  6. Plug in the USB stick that you want to reset.

  7. Run the same command again.

    list disk

    A new disk, which corresponds to the USB stick that you plugged in, appears in the list.
