I was cleaning out an hdd using diskpart and wanted to zero it out because im selling it and wanted to make sure it had no more of my info on it. Thing is i selected the wrong drive and instead ran the command on my 512gb ssd instead. It was to late to stop it mid way as when it started i went to eat some lunch so it ran through to completion.

My question is to anyone with more knowledge than me is their anyway to save a hint of data off of this ssd as i know hdds and ssd are not the same. And if so can i use some software to get it or must i send it into a lab to get something back out of it.

    Unfortunately, clean all command deletes all data from the drive. The only way to recover data is restoring files from backup if you have one.
