Drat. I apologize.
I never switch privacy nyms on purpose in the same thread.

My vpn scripts that Marek mostly wrote somehow didn't like,
I think, that I moved from Linux to Windows just now, posting from both
(where it keeps a variable based on the subject line), so something
didn't  reset (a bug in those scripts somewhere as my long time Usenet
reader is "vi" and the randomizer scripts use telnet to the nntp server).

Anyway, the question that remains is simply how to gracefully
eliminate all the cross-platform OS giblets, which are:
o The Windows 10 on HDD1 (WD10EFRX, sdc)
o The Windows 10 on HDD2 (Toshiba, sdb)
o The Ubuntu 17.10 on HDD2 (sdb)
o The Grub on HDD2
 

Is it as simple as deleting C:\Windows in HDD1  (sdc) & HDD2 (sdb)?
 

Can I just "rm -rf" to wipe out /etc/grub on HDD2 (sdb)?
 

I'm confused what's the graceful way to wipe out the OS giblets
while keeping the data on HDD1 (WD sdc) & HDD2 (Toshiba sdb) intact?
