Question Remove bitlocker

[argl]

Hi all,

I have an SSD that was from a dell notebook. This SSD had bitlocker, but I don´t have the key. How can I restore (removing bitlocker) this disk to back to use?
I don´t need recover any file. Just put SSD in use condition again.
thks....

remove every partition on the drive so it is 100% free unallocated space.

then create a new partition and format that.

EVERYTHING on the drive will be lost but it will be ready for it's second life

I´ve already tried this, but is not work. I receive a message informing that partition is blocked.

Clean the drive. Use diskpart clean method.

that would be the second thing to try.

I follow the disk part above and now I can´t create a partition. Checking on disk manages the disk is now in raw format.
