SSD format

Minibiker · 20 Jul 2022 at 18:41

Hi all

My dad is wanting to format his SSD and use it just for Steam! He has an OS running on another drive so the OS on the SSD will be ok to delete..

What's the best and easiest way to do the format?

Thank you

Run CMD as administrator
diskpark
list disk

select disk x (where x is the disk you want to do this to)
clean

Then you can use Disk Management to re-add it back in etc.
