How to Remove or Delete stubborn EFi system partitions or CLEAN problem system partitions on USB PCIE SSD or HDD
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.
If you need to keep any data you can use other DISKPART commands to erase partitions and if that is something you are interested in let me know in the comments.

didn't work for me with windows 7 I may have had this from Linux. LOL Yep I goofed it was on Linux. Believe it or not it was even easier than windows.
These 4 minutes have been more helpful than the past 1.5 hrs I’ve spent searching for help on Google. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Me allso
This is exactly what I came to the comments to say! Thank you!!
Google researching has become frustraing for me. Too many results that aren't fully related, and too many adds.
@@mikesunboxingby mistake i deleted partition and efi covered 232 GB u tried everything but anything doesn't work plz help😢😢
I HAD BEEN CHASING MY TAIL ALL NIGHT LOOKING TO DO THIS ON MY M.2 DRIVE,, YOU SAVED ME FROM GOING BOLD FELLA, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR SHARING THE PEARL OF WISDOM FELLA, YOUR A STAR....
Ian Matterson Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
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 RUclipsrs 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 🙏
Thank you so much! I was getting frustrated over deleting EFI and recovery partitions off an old HDD (upgraded my laptop to SSD). This video helped me a lot!
Glad it helped!
Brilliantly simple, accurate, and more helpful than any other much longer video I have found on this subject. Amazing work
Awesome, thank you!
well done mike , a guy that actually knows what hes doing , and explains it in laymans terms.. thanks pal
Glad it helped you :-)
Just what I needed friend, I just updates my son and daughters laptop to SSD. I was able to salvage a TB of storage for my video editing system thanks to you! SUBED.
Glad I could help and welcome to our Channel :-)

3 years old video and still working. Thanks so much :)

@@mikesunboxing ayo! Thanks again!
Worked like a charm. All the other places online wanted me to download their "free software" to get this done. Thank you!
glad it helped
Thanks Mike, actually really thanks, I literally just got a new/old laptop today with 3 partitions on the storage HDD that wouldn't go away, googled what to do and there you were, literally yesterday, its almost like you knew!!
glad it helped you! Maybe i got the idea from you :-)
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!
glad to be of help
It worked!
Also if you are nervous or can't tell which disk to select if you have disk management open it shows which number disk each is!
glad it helped
Thank you so much. I have been fighting to remove the partitions from a disk for a while, including various partition programs without success. You fixed it for me.
Glad I could help
Holy moly, been 3 hours trying to erase my old damn windows drive, thank you so much !!!!!!!! You are a life saver
glad it helped Raul
from yesterday i am locking for my hard disk solution your video is the last one I decided if there is no solution i will loss my all hope but you saved my 1tb hard disk thank you so much from bottom of my heart
glad to help
Wow, thanks man! I'm intimidated every time a YT video has "open up the command prompt window" involved in the instructions, as I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to cause my laptop to blow up or something. But, your instructions worked perfectly! Much appreciated!
Glad I could help!
My savior. took me 2 days to find you after watching a lot of videos. Thanks
Glad we could help - have a great day!
After weeks of trying to fix this issue on a used external drive your vid worked 100% thankyou.
glad it helped
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.
thanks for the info
I have had that annoying 1gb off my disk and I couldn't get it back this tutorial helped thanks
Isn't it Too Much To say That RUclips Literally gives us Every solution we need!

I got stuck for 8 days and I'm trying

Thank you! I have been working on this computer for way over an hour.
Glad I could help!
Brilliant, hats off to you sir.
That begs the question why does disk management in command prompt have this incredibly basic function but it doesn't in ACTUAL disk management -_-
yeah it does make you wonder
After spending 2 days trying to figure out how to delete it, finally was able to. Thanks man!
Glad I could help
OMFG! I was searching on google from 2 freaking days and considered buying some 3rd party tool but then i found this vid and it is so helpful! Thank you so much!

Glad it helped!
Thanks for this. Been looking for how to do this for ages
No problem 👍
thank you!! previously I take out the internal hardisk and use it as external hardisk, and found in the disk management that there's a lot of unnecessariy partition (at least for me) such as EFI and recovery.. I keep searching with all kind of keywords on search engine about how to erase those and make this like the default external hardisk, yet come up with nothing. And try youtube, stumbling on your video, and viola, my problem's solved!! much appreciated!! :D
Glad we could help
This just saved me thank you so much

Thank you! Your video saved me hours of wasted time.

Thanks it’s the only solution that worked. Thank you so much.
Glad it helped
Great bit of info, I had the same problem last month. too bad clean isn't part of Disk Management, maybe on Windows 11
Nimrod Quimbus Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
@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-- after formatting my 450Gig SSD this way-- I still don't see the SSD on my PC list of SSD drives, I thought after formatting is ready to use.
This is maybe easier to fix or at least advise if we can ask more questions and get direct answers, so feel free to join our Discord chat and we can go over it in more detail discord.gg/XtBTGQ6BDu

Thanks Mike, I have a flash drive for Memtest86 that I use for BIOS updates as well, this really helped. Really nice manner on your delivery of this video, cheers.

glad to help
Fantastic video! No nonsens just good info, thnx!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Mike.. I do love a simple "How to fix" video.. Much appreciated. #legend
No problem 👍
Wouldn't it be nice if there was an option to "clean" right there in disk manager?
Yes that would be great
Thanks Mike great video this helped me out big time. 👍
Glad it helped
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
yes it applies to most drives and flash units
Yo this helped me so much! I have an 8GB Imation USB that had an EFI-System thing but there was no OS and it only said that there was 1GB of Storage!
glad to help
Worked perfectly! Thank you!

worked like a charm thank you
Wow! Great tutorial, Mike! Do you know why they have those other two partitions taking up space? It seems like it was put there for a reason...?
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
Straight to the point and worked perfectly!
happy to help
Healthy (efi system partition) is displaying on "This PC" and it can't be deleted, is there a way to hide it?
is it on the main drive or a secondary one? maybe look at this if it is the latter ruclips.net/video/Tnbbjql0V30/видео.html
thanks buddy you did it the perfect and simple way
Glad it helped
