Do you happen to be using disk encryption? If so, I bet you can just lose the password for good and be done with it, although don't quote me on that. If that's not the case, it probably depends a bit on how valuable data you have there. If you do, you might want to run some data erasure software, because simply reformatting isn't a reliable way to ensure no one can access your data. Some would probably speak about a threat model, which would dictate how you should handle the situation. It's probably overkill, but the point still stands: what you should do probably depends on things (but the chances are that there's no need for you to be too paranoid). |
Valuable data has been dealt with beforehand. Thankfully it wasn't a lot because due to the extremely slow speeds as explained above, it still took several days for the couple GB it was in total! Hence why I didn't update on the greatest game list - just opening the freaking .odt file with my game list and prepared hints was too much for the drive, but I managed to transfer it now.
What's left is mostly just videogames, and programming software and frameworks, plus LibreOffice (but not it's tables and documents, those are safe), all stuff I should be able to re-download
