# wipefs
> Wipe filesystem, raid, or partition-table signatures from a device.
> More information: <https://manned.org/wipefs>.
- Display signatures for specified device:
`sudo wipefs {{/dev/sdX}}`
- Wipe all available signature types for a specific device with no recursion into partitions:
`sudo wipefs --all {{/dev/sdX}}`
- Wipe all available signature types for the device and partitions using a glob pattern:
`sudo wipefs --all {{/dev/sdX}}*`
- Perform dry run:
`sudo wipefs --all --no-act {{/dev/sdX}}`
- Force wipe, even if the filesystem is mounted:
`sudo wipefs --all --force {{/dev/sdX}}`
