I understand and agree with the logic behind like terms as labels,
however, the outcome seems off.

To use Sajolida's suggestion with a swapped action, 'Securely delete
disk space' informs me that I will no longer be able to store things, as
I will have deleted the space to do so.

- 'Securely clean disk space'
- 'Securely wipe disk space'

These are better understood. Throwing away the junk in your garage and
cleaning the garage are two separate actions, so maybe separate terms
for labels is appropriate.
