    I suggest you to connect the USB flash drive to a different computer and check.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to refresh the drive letter and then try to rescan the drives that are connect to the computer and check.

    To refresh drive letter:

    • In the console tree, click Computer Management (Local), click
      Storage, and then click Disk Management.

    select disk 1

    Clean

    create partition primary


    • The first command selects your removable USB drive.

    • The Clean command deletes all the current partitions present on the USB drive.

    • The Create primary partition creates a fresh partition and allocates all the unallocated space on this fresh partition.

    • Type Exit to close the command prompt window.

    • Unplug your USB drive and plug it back again.

    Hope it helps.

    How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

    Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
    it with another drive if the process is different?
     
  4. Remove content of One Drive to computer to save space

    memory space

    Hi Cody,

    Making sure that your computer has enough space is a good step in improving its performance. The following are steps on how you can manage your storage settings:

    • Click Start.
    • Type Storage and hit Enter.
    • You may switch on the Storage sense to automatically free up space by getting rid of files you don't need, like temporary files and content in your recycle bin.
    • Under More storage settings, you may choose to change where new content is saved or manage storage spaces to save files to two or more drives to help protect you from a drive failure.
      Storage Spaces also let you easily add more drives if you run low on capacity.

    Let us know if you need further help.
