Remove stubborn EFI or protected partitions quickly and easily, This method brute force erases the entire drive and ANY partition data so you can reformat the disk and regain all the drives capacity regardless of where on the drive the protected of system partitions were.

To everyone out there, this is the video you’ve been looking for. A simple “clean” in cmd wipes the whole USB along with all it’s problems (including those irremovable write protections). Can’t believe these other KZbinrs have wasted so much time beating around the bush with their 10 minutes “solutions”, when in reality this takes less than a minute. Thank you sir.

Thanks for this video - fixed an EFI error I had on my Samsung T7 which was previously used as a win boot drive on Mac that I was reformatting to use as a media drive on my Xbox Series S console. The Xbox would keep throwing the 0x80bd003c error when being selected as the capture point deepite being formatted correctly as NTFS. This solved it - awesome - Thankyou Mike!

[@mikesunboxing]

[@drewnashty]

Fantastic, I forgot this simple method from years ago. Open command prompt as an Administrator, easiest way typically is by pressing Windows key and typing in "CMD" and hold down CTRL and Shift while you hit Enter Type "diskpart" then hit Enter Type "list disk" and hit Enter Note which disk is the target Type "select disk #" and hit Enter, # is the number of the disk you found from list disk, make sure it's not your C drive. Type "clean" and hit Enter. It should show that it was successfully cleaned and now you may proceed with using the disk how you see fit.

[@mikesunboxing]

thanks for the info

@Nimrod Actually you can achieve the same result in Disk Management by simply rightclicking the allocated partitions and delete. If you have many partitions, you can do it all at once with CMD.

Thanks Mike great video this helped me out big time. 👍

[@mikesunboxing]

[@pxKappa]

not sure if it only applies to hard drives or flash drives as well, but I just finished recovering data from a mac formatted external hard drive that was listed under disk manager but windows wouldn't give it a letter or open it at all, and after performing the "clean" command to also get rid of a residual EFI partition that it had I also had to select "power up this drive" or something like that as well as select between MBR or GPT on the right click menu of the full unallocated space where you just selected to create a new partition. i'm assuming it's because it was a big 2TB external hard drive and this probably doesn't apply to small flash drives, as it didn't on the video

[@mikesunboxing]

yes it applies to most drives and flash units

It is a file system register type of thing so when the pc boots from it it looks at that part of the drive so it knows which sections contain things like the OS and data or recovery partitions
