Windows 10: How do I clear my F Drive? I tried ejecting but that just hid it

I had a sort of "phantom drive" partition? I dunno, it wasn't a physical drive that I wanted to get rid ofand since I couldn't delete anything in it, I tried ejecting it through File Explorer. I can't see it anymore, but I seem to still be missing the D Drive space. How do I fix this?

f drive

Hello Kathy,

Based on the information you have provided in your post; we need to do further investigation. To assist you better, we'd like to know the following:

• Have you tried using a third party software to manage the disk partition?
• Did you format the drive?

We suggest that you check for the drive in the Disk Management and look if it appears. Follow these steps:

• Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
• Press Windows+R key and type diskmgmt.msc and then click OK.

Look if the Drive F: appears and check if it is unallocated.

Looking forward to your update.

 

Clearing the Backup Drive (F)

Hi,

You can clear up space by deleting the contents of formatting the drive itself. Is it an external drive? If it is and there's no important files saved in the drive that you might need, then you can format the drive to clear up space. To do so, follow the
steps below:

• Plug your hard drive into the computer.
• Type File Explorer on the search bar and hit Enter.
• Open File Explorer and click This PC from the left panel.
• Click on the drive's name, then under Drive Tools, select Manage
  tab on the upper part of the window.
• Click Format. A new prompt will appear.
• Under File system, select FAT32 (Default).
• Put a check on Quick Format option then click
  Start.
• Let the process to be finished then click OK when prompted.

We're just a post away if you need further help.
