@pauldooPaul Richards alright so according to this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/593340
shred, wipe, et al just won't work on SSDs because of how they function. the best you can do is a tool called blkdiscard which will politely ask the SSD to wipe the file. failing that, you have to wipe the entire SSD
