Clean and Format a Flash Drive
PowerShell
This works even if the USB flash drive has unknown (UNIX) partitions.
Filesystems can be NTFS, FAT32 or exFAT.
This will completely remove any data on the USB flash drive.
To clean and format a removable drive with PowerShell, use these steps:
Run PowerShell as administrator:
Get-Disk New-Partition -DiskNumber DISK-NUMBER -UseMaximumSize Get-Partition -DiskNumber DISK-NUMBER | Format-Volume -FileSystem FILE-SYSTEM -NewFileSystemLabel DRIVE-NAME Get-Partition -DiskNumber DISK-NUMBER | Set-Partition -NewDriveLetter DRIVE-LETTER
