Why does my external hard drive work in Linux but not in Windows?

IS reformatting an appropriate method of deleting files?
No. Files can be deleted accurately without reformatting. Reformatting is for completely deleting the entire drive's contents and re-establishing the file structure. This is usually used to repair a damaged file structure, or permanently erase all contents of the disk. (Although methods of undoing or recovering still exist.)
Can you remove all viruses from a hard drive reinstall desired programs and run satisfatorily by reformatting the drive.?
Yes, you can. But you have to be aware of so called "boot sector viruses". You need kill them before new system installation, if you don't the freshly installed operating system will be infected immediately.

Can a virus destroy a hard drive or render a HDD useless even formatting cannot save it?
A virus can corrupt your hard drive, but you should still be able to save it by reformatting. What "reformatting" actually means is that you erase the entire contents of the drive, and then you reinstall your operating system. Before you do this, you need to back up all the data on your computer or you will loose it. This includes all your files and programs, emails, etc. Backing up data is something that I prefer to have a computer technician do, because they have equipment set up to back up the large number of programs and files, which take up a lot of memory. It's time consuming and cumbersome to try backing up all this data onto disks.
