Reformat USB for Windows

I routinely have USB drives that have a Linux installers on them. Once the drives are setup this way, they can be reformatted as normal USB file storage drives using the following procedure:

1. Plug in the USB drive.
2. Right-click Start and select Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell (Admin).
3. Type:

diskpart

4. List the disks:

list disk

5. Identify the USB drive by size. For example, it may be Disk 2.
6. Select the USB drive, replacing 2 with the correct disk number:

select disk 2

7. Confirm you selected the right disk:

detail disk

8. Erase the partition table:

clean

9. Create one normal partition:

create partition primary

10. Format it as exFAT:

format fs=exfat quick label=TRANSFER

11. Assign a drive letter:

assign

12. Exit DiskPart:

exit

The USB drive should now show up in File Explorer as a normal removable drive.
