Pour désinstaller Tails d'une clé USB et l'utiliser pour autre chose, vous devez la réinitialiser.

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.

Vous pourriez écraser n'importe quel disque dur sur votre ordinateur.

Si à un moment donné, vous n'êtes pas sûr du périphérique à utiliser, arrêter la procédure.

Supprimez Tails de votre clé USB

Premièrement, effacez Tails de votre clé USB :

  1. Assurez-vous que la clé USB que vous voulez réinitialiser est débranchée.

  2. Open the Start () menu.
