 Some storage devices (e.g., some solid-state drives, including USB flash drives) use so-called 'trim' operation to mark drive sectors as free e.g. when a file is deleted. Consequently, such sectors may contain unencrypted zeroes or other undefined data (unencrypted)
- even if they are located within a part of the drive that is encrypted by VeraCrypt. VeraCrypt does not block the trim operation on partitions that are within the key scope of

+<br>
+On Windows, VeraCrypt allows users to control the trim operation for both non-system and system volumes:
+<ul>
+<li>For non-system volumes, trim is blocked by default. Users can enable trim through VeraCrypt's interface by navigating to "Settings -> Performance/Driver Configuration" and checking the option "Allow TRIM command for non-system SSD partition/drive."</li>
+<li>For <a href="System%20Encryption.html">system encryption</a>, trim is enabled by default (unless a <a href="Hidden%20Operating%20System.html">hidden operating system</a> is running). Users can disable trim by navigating to "System -> Settings" and checking the option "Block TRIM command on system partition/drive."</li>
+</ul>
+
+Under Linux, VeraCrypt does not block the trim operation on volumes using the native Linux kernel cryptographic services, which is the default setting. To block TRIM on Linux, users should either enable the "do not use kernel cryptographic services" option in VeraCrypt's Preferences (applicable only to volumes mounted afterward) or use the <code>--mount-options=nokernelcrypto</code> switch in the command line when mounting.
