'it did not work' Note that cheap, fake USB drives often go faulty and become write-protected. |

Thanks for the reply. I have tried the link you gave. The USB is Sandisk Ultra USB 3.0 64 GB. I have also tried gpart, gdisk, but I have encountered errors: such as I need to reboot for the new table to be used, or the drive is being used. There should be a more straightforward way of removing the Ventoy. If your suggested way should already clear ventoy from the USB, then, maybe the USB gone bad? |

You need to boot from your hard disk. Windows OS or Linux OS? If booting on a Windows system try RMPrepUSB.exe - CLEAN button, then safely remove and unplug - replug. |

I am booting from my Linux. I have tried to erase it from my Windows (not booted from Ventoy USB), but in Windows Ventory USB freezes when I want to access with Windows Disk Management Tool, Rufus or similar USB tools. |

I have tried RMPrepUSB.exe as well, but as I mentioned, the program freezes as soon as I inserted USB. In fact windows explorer also freezes. So the USB is probably completely ruined. ? |

I have tried many things to remove/format the USB that I installed Ventoy but I could not. I also used Ventoy tool itself, to erase, reinstall again but it did not work. Please help me to salvage my USB. I cannot use it with Windows. I can see the USB drive mounted on Linux but cannot use it properly. What is the low-level method to format this USB and completely get rid of Ventoy?
