Abstract
A CPU of an information processing apparatus (MFP) obtains device information of a secondary storage device installed in the MFP and discriminates, based on the obtained device information, whether the secondary storage device is of a type that supports an erasure command (TRIM command) that provides notification of information indicating data to be erased from the storage device. The CPU controls display of a setting screen for erasure modes by controlling, in accordance with the discrimination result, whether to display erasure modes for executing erasure processing based on an erasure command in a selectable manner.
