I just erased my 1TB HDD with GParted but there is still 60GB in use.
I tried to wipe the disk multiple times but it does nothing.



From GParted: There is 15.70Gio in use after the wiped
enter image description here



At the bottom of the screen you can see "869.2Gio free on 915.9Gio" (931.5Gio - 15.70Gio), 5% in use. But I have not stored any files.
enter image description here



How can I get back my 60GB ?

  • ext* has a 5% root reserve by default, which you can disable with tune2fs. But I don't use gparted, so I don't know if the root reserve would translate to 5% used in gparted, or if gparted has a setting for the size of the root reserve somewhere. Even without a root reserve, there will be some space reserved for filesystem metadata, journal, etc.

  • Thank you, I managed to get back the 5% in use. Now I have : 915.9 free on 915.Gio. I will search for GParted.
