Hey there, trenchcoatmafia!

There are quite a number of secure-erase utilities online, but better look at your SSD manufacturer's website for such a tool. Keep in mind, though, that secure-erasing an SSD will restore it back to the condition you bought it in.

However, I think a quick format will be just as sufficient. Just go to Disk Management and delete all partitions, it will save you the trouble to install any additional software.

Hope I was helpful! Good luck!
