Chapter 10 Install and System Administration for FortiOS 5.0 : Advanced concepts : Disk : Formatting the disk
  
Formatting the disk
The internal disk of the FortiGate unit (if available) can be formatted by going to System > Config > Disk and selecting Format.
Formatting the disk will erase all data on it, including databases for antivirus and IPS; logs, quarantine files, and WAN optimization caches. The FortiGate unit requires a reboot once the disk has been formatted.
