How can I protect the data in my pagefile from being recovered? Can I wipe the whole swap file? If not, how can I handle it to prevent data leakage?

I recently purchased a 2 TB hard drive, but at the moment only 20 percent of its space is in use. It takes a lot of time to get this drive wiped. Is there any way to save my time when performing a ‘wipe free space’ task?
