Specifying other disks

I want to wipe the freespace on a usb-mounted drive (which I just formatted, so free space is all of it) and am not sure how. The preferences/drives tab seems likely, but I don't understand what role the "directory to write to" has or how to specify anything other than the root partition. For example, if the extra drive I want to wipe is mounted at /media/ThisDrive, how would I point Bleachbit at it?

If it is mounted at /media/ThisDrive, then point Preferences - Drives to /media/ThisDrive (or any sub-directory).
