in MY COMPUTER, right click the drive the USB flash drive is in, find FORMAT, and choose QUICK FORMAT or just FORMAT. That will erase everything. BE SURE YOU DO NOT FORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE BY MISTAKE!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just reformat it. Wipes out everything. plug it in, go to "my computer" click on that drive....the usb one, NOT on the main drive! Just the one you're trying to format. Click on "format" and follow the directions. It might take 30 or 40 seconds.
