To use Persistent Storage, you must unlock it on the Welcome Screen. If you want to change the passphrase, see the [documentation](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/passphrase/index.en.html). If you ever forget your passphrase, it's impossible to recover it; you'll have to [delete](https://tails.net/doc/persistent_storage/delete/index.en.html) the Persistent Storage and start over.
In [Tails Best Practices](/posts/tails-best/#using-a-write-protect-switch), we recommend against using Persistent Storage in most cases. Any files that need to be persistent can be stored on a second [LUKS-encrypted USB](#how-to-create-an-encrypted-usb) instead. Most Persistent Storage features do not work well with USBs that have a write-protect switch.

However, it can take weeks or years before that space is actually used for new files, at which point the old data actually disappears. In the meantime, if you look directly at what is written to the drive, you can find the contents of the files. This is a fairly simple process, automated by many software programs that allow you to "recover" or "restore" data. You can't really delete data, but you can overwrite data, which is a partial solution.
There are two types of storage: magnetic (HDD) and flash (SSD, NVMe, USB, memory cards, etc.). The only way to erase a file on either is to [reformat the entire drive](#how-to-create-an-encrypted-usb) and select **Overwrite existing data with zeros**.

However, traces of the previously written data may still remain. If you have sensitive documents that you really want to erase, it is best to physically destroy the USB after reformatting it. Fortunately, USBs are cheap and easy to steal. Be sure to reformat the drive before destroying it; destroying a drive is often a partial solution. Data can still be recovered from disk fragments, and burning a drive requires temperatures higher than a normal fire (i.e. thermite) to be effective.
