1. Insert the USB flash drive, right-click on “This computer”, select “Manage”, click to open the “Disk Management” in the “Computer Management” panel, you will see all the disks on the current computer, and find the index name of the USB flash drive.


PS: According to some netizens, this step is not very friendly, because some computers may be installed with multiple hard drives, which may cause the wrong disk to be selected and the data will be cleared (sorry if the data was accidentally cleared), here is recommended Add the list disk command after the select disk command to confirm again whether the same disk we want to clear.
