I think Shonda is right, rm command is used to remove files, not erase partitions

But using dd with if=/dev/zero will write zeros to the partition, effectively erasing it

Haha, Option A is just asking to get in trouble. Trying to 'rm' a partition device? That's a bold move, cotton!

Option B looks good to me. The 'dd' command is perfect for erasing a partition.
