format - Formatting drive before using Windows installation Media

I want to reinstall windows to start clean and I want to remove ANY files left.


I made a bootable USB using the Windows Media Creation Tool.


I am wondering if I should now format the entire drive, or if selecting the option to keep no files will provide a 100% clean install.


It's on a SSD and I want to create another partition on it. Should I do that first (in which case I should format first)? And will it be bad for my SSD to delete and rewrite everything?
