Clearing a flash drive is the process of removing all data from the drive, including files, folders, and any hidden data. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to free up space on the drive, to remove unwanted data, or to prepare the drive for a new use.
There are a few different ways to clear a flash drive. One common method is to use the “Format” command in Windows or macOS. This will erase all data from the drive and create a new file system. Another method is to use a third-party utility, such as the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool or the SD Card Formatter. These utilities can provide more advanced formatting options, such as the ability to choose the file system and cluster size.
