I am currently dual booted Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.10. I know I can "erase" the Windows partition with gparted, but does that really erase the data?
I would like to run something like DBAN on the windows partition before I delete it and expand the Ubuntu one. This is an older computer (and not my primary) that I have been using to experiment with Ubuntu. I do not have much data yet, so completely wiping the drive and starting over is a possibility if wiping just the windows partition is not an option.
But, I wanted to ask... Is there any tool that will wipe the windows partition but leave the Ubuntu one intact?

You could do this, but it seems like extra effort unless you believe that someone is going to take physical posession of your computer, and find something you don't want them to.
