However, it seems I am unable to remove the LUKS partition. When I connect it to my computer (using a USB dock) it requests the password, which I no longer have. But that's OK, since I don't want to mount it or access the data, I just want to blow everything away.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Fdisk appears to allow me to remove all the partitions and create a new Linux partition. However, as soon as I reconnect it to my computer, it shows up as a LUKS encrypted partition again, and wants a password.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Is there some special thing I'm supposed to do to get rid of the encrypted partition. In addition to fdisk I tried luksFormat to see if I could create a fresh encrypted partition and go from there, but that did not work either.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">ed</div><br></div>
