SSD cannot remove partitions

I have the same issue. The ssd disk was encrypted by W10 with Bitlocker without my consent. Finally, the disk (Kingston) only has 6 months.

So, I tried:
Bash: 
dd bs=4M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX
doesn't work.

Bash: 
blkdiscard /dev/sdX
doesn´t work either.

Bash: 
gdisk /dev/sdX
# z,x: remove gpt partion table, etc.
doesn´t work either.

I had no idea hibernation was such a drain on an SSD.

Yes sir. Hibernation, Indexing and Superfetch are three "features" that need to be fully disabled when using an SSD and an OS drive. Hibernation isn't needed as SSD's are fast enough these days, same with Indexing, which hammers an SSD needlessly and SuperFetch is a drive optimizer intended for HDD's which also needlessly wears an SSD.
