I know there is Data Wipe action on the next boot in the BIOS of Latitude 7420. Triggering it from the BIOS will erase everything on the disk. So how do i trigger this action via a executable windows file? Can I make an executable file from Dell Command and Configure? Is it possible. And are there any options to wipe only the data partitions but not the recovery drive?

Create an windows executable file using Dell Command and Configure which triggers the Data wipe from BIOS in the next reboot. I asked the same in the question.
There is no problem in my laptop and my laptop is fine. So please stop asking questions about the diagnostics
Note that I have posted two separate questions in this board.
Dell: Please stop mixing the two questions and sending me direct messages asking what I wanted to do. Please refer to the questions I have posted and keep the discussions separate.
If I understand your question(s) correctly, there is a way to wipe data from a drive or separate partition using Windows-based programs. One such program is a free version of Mini-Tool Partition Wizard, which allows the user to select the desired partition and then wipe it.
I work in an organization where people work remotely from different locations across the globe. So if one of the user leaves the organization, laptop is to be wiped clean. Now since the laptop is not physically with me, I cannot do it. The only way is to trigger a remote wipe. And using 3rd party utilities is not allowed. So only way left is to prepare a windows executable file and run it in windows so that it enables the Data wipe option which starts in the next reboot.
