The other utterly funny thing is the very last paragraph.

"Once the drive has been formatted, the files on it will have been
completely removed, so you can't get them back. It is possible that
special recovery software could retrieve the files, so formatting a disk
is not a completely secure way of wiping a disk."

The writer has managed to contradict themselves in the space of 2
