Windows 10: I get an error when I try to clean my DIsk.

In the command prompt when I type clean after selecting my disk, it replies with Diskpart has encountered an error: A device which does not exist has been specified. See the System Event Log for more information.


Can i clean my disk in another way or how can I fix this error?

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!
