What OS are you trying to eventually install? You should be able to wipe all partitions during the install process.

Windows 10 and i know they allow you to format... However all the data is "still there" these are all ssd's and therefore arn't meant to be defraged... I wish to speed them up a little by wiping years of unistalled reinstalled games and programs and just General sluggishness all this lag is putting on my system

Wasn't talking about defragging. Just removing all existing partitions.

Does your motherboard support a secure wipe function for SSDs? Many newer models do now.

Regarding killdisk, you could try a fresh download and install to another USB drive. I use Rufus to make bootable thumb drives. Works great.

Deleting all existing partitions during the install leaves nothing behind.
There is no latent sluggishness.

As a son of a software tech for the police i assure you there is more than enough left on the drives to cause lag, how do you think people even after "formatting" there drive and deleteing the partitions i still convicted off of evidence found on there pc..... NO I HAVE NOTHING ON MY COMPUTER, however like i said my pc has been rather slow recently and fresh insall hasn't helped. So i was going to wipe to form factor settings and start scratch

Data structure on an SSD is significantly different than what may remain on an HDD after a 'format'.

For your specific drive...does the manufacturer publish a Secure Erase utility?

Unless you're a target of the NSA, GCHQ, or FSB, yes.
Probably even then.
