Reformat a USB device

To reformat your USB drive, double click on the ** My Computer ** icon on your desktop and then find the icon of the USB drive you have plugged into your computer. Right click the correct USB drive and choose the ** Format ** option. You can then make any changes you want to the Options screen that appears and when you're done, just click on the ** Start ** button. Windows will then format your USB drive. However, reformatting your USB drive will delete everything on the drive and all of your data will be lost. So, ensure you remove any important documents and files from your USB device before you proceed on with the reformat process.
