This article covers several methods. Personally, I'd look for a BIOS based tool first, as that would be free and easiest. After that, the Diskpart Clean All command is probably fine for anything other than Top Secret data which a government based threat actor would be willing to put a lot of resources into recovering. If it's just your tax documents and porn archive, no one is going to care enough to dig out anything which that command might have left behind.

If running linux, what command should be run? Shred isn't viable on a SSD, as it will only tear them down. Shred was designed with HDD in mind.

if the value of the compromised data exceeds the value of the drive, destroy the drive.
