    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

  7. Cleaning TEMP folder vs running "Disk clean up"

    Cleaning TEMP folder vs running "Disk clean up": Hi community, When running the %TEMP% command, the folder shows 100 GB, which I want to remove. When using the "Disk Clean up," barely any load is shown. I do not think the app contemplates the temp folder in itself. Is it safe to go into the TEMP folder and Shift+Del all?...
