Windows 10: Question about Flash drive and storage utilities

Does anyone know of any application that is GUI based that can feature all "Diskpart's" functions (especially the "clean" command)?

How to Restore Storage Capacity to a Flash Drive that has been used as media

CAUTION: This document assumes the drive was formatted to a smaller disk size for a specific purpose, like to create OS media. If it is being used to store data for ANY reason, BACK UP YOUR DATA before attempting any of these steps. Any
data that is not backed up will be lost upon completion.

Although it might look like a flash drive used as media has lost storage, it has actually been partitioned using Disk Management. To reformat the flash drive to its original capacity, take the following steps on your Windows 10 computer:

1. Load Windows to the desktop as normal.
   
2. Insert your affected flash drive into a USB port on the computer.
   
3. Search Control on the Start menu and run the Control Panel.
   
4. Set the Control Panel to Large Icon view.
   
5. Open Administrative Tools.
   
6. Select Disk Management.
   
7. Select your flash drive and delete its existing partition.
   
8. Format and reset your flash drive to its full capacity with Disk Management.

The process takes time for the drive to reset, but afterwards it should work normally again.

EXTERNAL AND FLASH DRIVE WONT SHOW DRIVE NAMES ON WINDOWS 10

Hi,

By default, Windows will recognize an external hard drive or a flash drive as “Local Disk” if the storage device was not configured and has no label on it. To resolve your concern, we recommend that you may put a label on your storage devices using
the Disk Management Tool in Computer Management. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Right-click the Start button and select Computer
  Management.
• Under Storage, select Disk Management.
• Physical drive letters are shown including the partition, right-click on each drive and select
  Properties.
• Name your storage device or put a label on it.
• Click Apply.
• Use File Explorer to view your external devices or flash drive with a label on it.

Let us know if the solution above works for you.
