Why would you want to do that? Did you have some sort of memory resident virus? If so you can purge memory to eliminate that issue. Shut your system down (provided you have no data on the hard disk). Pull the memory sticks from the DIMM slots. Power the system up and you should hear beeps from no memory being present in the system (this will purge the memory as once the sticks have no power in them there can be nothing to read as resident. Also powering up the system without the sticks allows the system to purge any memory reads (the beeps show no memory present), therefore purges anything referring to memory. Once you hear those beeps, shut down the system. reinstall your memory sticks, then you are done!

D-Dragon, You don't have any memory on your hard disk. You have storage space. If you wish to clean all the information out of that storage space, one of the free programs here will do that for you.
