DESCRIPTION
    The Clear-Disk cmdlet clears the disk by removing the partition and volume information.
    
    If the disk contains active data volumes, then the RemoveData parameter is required as this will delete all data 
    from the specified disk. This cmdlet will not clear OEM recovery partitions unless ForceOEM parameter is also 
    specified.
