Cannot Delete Partition on USB Flash Drive or SD Card

Geeks - If you are trying to delete a partition on a USB flash drive or SD card and are unable to do so, there are a few possible solutions you can try.

First, make sure that the drive is connected properly to your computer and that it is not currently in use. If the drive is in use, you will need to eject it or unmount it before you can make any changes to its partitions.

Next, try using a disk management tool to delete the partition. On Windows, you can use the built-in Disk Management tool to do this. On macOS, you can use the Disk Utility app. Both of these tools should allow you to delete the partition and create a new one, if needed.

If you are still unable to delete the partition, the problem may be with the drive itself. In this case, you may need to use a third-party partitioning tool, such as GParted or EaseUS Partition Master, to delete the partition. These tools should be able to help you delete the partition, even if the built-in tools are unable to do so.

It's also possible that the drive itself is damaged, in which case you may need to replace it. If you continue to have trouble deleting the partition, it may be best to contact the manufacturer of the drive for assistance.
